Psychopathy is one of the disorders of the most well-established personality. However, their relationship with the diagnosis of the American Psychiatric Association Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) has been controversial. It is a construct that develops throughout the life of the individual and its impact on third parties must deal with special interest. A case in which this problem is shown in a child with psychopathic behavior, for which the term dissocial would not cover aspects such as lack of remorse or guilt, inability to delay reinforcement and learn from mistakes, the sensation seeking, ability to make a good impression and lack of emotional ties, all common features of psychopathy.
