Effect of Treatment based on Wish Actualization View on Reduction Symptoms of Antisocial Personality Disorder as an Effective Step to Prevent these Individuals from Joining Terrorist Groups
Abstract:
Today, extremist thoughts have been successful in attracting many individuals all around the world by relying on religious beliefs. One of its factors is the fact that these groups suffer from antisocial personality disorder. Damaging behaviors, including violation of rules, social order, violence of rights, aggression, rebellion against authorities, dispute, irresponsibility and absence of regret, are factors encouraging these individuals to join terrorist groups. Hence, treatment of these individuals can remove the process of recruitment and training. The purpose of the present research is to examine the effect of treatment based on wish actualization on antisocial personality disorder. Method of the research is case study and data are collected by structured clinical interview (SCID) and interventions in therapy sessions. In this research, a 27-year-old male suffering from antisocial personality disorder was treated based on wish actualization. The main hypothesis of the research was that this approach improves and reduces symptoms of antisocial personality disorder. Treatment process was performed in 20 sessions. Findings showed that after therapy sessions, a significant decrease was observed in the symptoms of antisocial personality disorder in terms of DSM 5. The results supported all hypotheses of the research. It seems that ultra-religious views can be considered as a new approach to treat this disorder such as wish actualization view, and future researches with larger samples can present more valid results. Finally, comparison of these findings with those of other researches and the employed treatment protocol are discussed.
