Selon Hare, la psychopathie est un trouble de la personnalité défini par une constellation de caractéristiques affectives, interpersonnelles et comportementales. Au centre de celles-ci se trouvent un manque profond d'empathie, de culpabilité ou de remords, une indifférence marquée face aux droits, sentiments et bien-être des autres.

L'échelle de psychopathie (PCL-R). Hare a développé une procédure d'évaluation qui permet de mesurer les composantes affectives, interpersonnelles et comportementales de la psychopathie reliées de près aux conceptions traditionnelles du trouble telles que celles de Cleckley (1976) et de McCord et McCord (1956). Cette procédure est une entrevue semi-structurée consistant à interviewer le participant sur différents domaines de sa vie. Elle a pour avantage une meilleure identification des tentatives de simulation et de manipulation de la part de participants pouvant être habiles à duper. Elle s'accompagne d'une échelle, appelée Échelle de Psychopathie de Hare.

Managing manipulative behavior in the helping relationship. [This journal article] defines and discusses manipulative behavior so that social workers can discern such tactics and manage them skillfully. Manipulative behavior's potentially detrimental impact on helping relationships is discussed within the context of communication-interaction theory. Types of manipulative behavior discussed and illustrated include attempting to control conditions of treatment, avoiding engaging in the helping process, attempting to gratify needs in the helping relationship that are ordinarily gratified from other sources, seeking to avoid aversive consequences of infractions, and seeking to gain unearned benefits and favors [Source : PASCAL database].
