Question

How can Michael Lewis’s ideas about the development of emotion inform our understanding of how antisocial personality disorder could develop?

Where do you think you might be likely to find people with this disorder (in terms of occupations or facilities)?

Answer 1

Micheal Lewis was interested in the research of conciousness and its effects on the personality. Emotions are the part of development and it carries through out the life but with the development of self conciousness social self changes and persons react accordingly into the society. If self conciousness did,nt get developed inside the personality regarding ethics then the several personality disorders occours. Anti social personality disorder is a serious problem in this fast world and most of the cases developed due to lack of due care since childhood. Care does,nt only mean good food, clothes and other facilities but it also includes warmth in the relationships, guidances from the guardians which is lacking and thus it turns into the personality disorder even of anti social type.

Such kind of persons are easily found out in the correctional homes and even in the mental hospitals if case goes much severe. In terms of occupations its tough to say for a specific job where such persons may be found out but persons involved in stressfull jobs are more prone to such activities.
