Chato-5,

Here's what I recall from my abnormal psychology class I took my
junior year of college. I'm a little rusty, so don't take this
information as gospel truth.

While there is no 'cure' for antisocial behavior or personality, there
are treatments available. These treatments, while limited, are usually
in the form of therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy and psychotherapy (group and individual)
are the favored options. In these therapies, a range of issues are
addressed focusing on relationships and motivation to achieve a
desired goal. Emotions and feelings surrounded the root of the
antisocial behavior are also addressed.

At the present time, there are no medications that are specifically
prescribed to treat antisocial personality disorder. No medications
have been found especially effective either.

Hope this helps.
