Resumen
Actualmente el término psicopatía ha quedado en desuso a raíz del surgimiento de términos más actuales. En este documento se pretende realizar una revisión en la literatura en castellano de los últimos 15 años, con el fin de analizar y sintetizar el constructo de la psicopatía así como su evolución hacia el Trastorno de la Personalidad Antisocial. Las bases de datos consultadas han sido Dialnet, Google académico y PROQUEST. En el trabajo se exponen aspectos relativos a: la evolución del constructo psicopatía, sus características, su diagnóstico diferencial, la comorbilidad con otros trastornos, así como su prevalencia y etiología, para concluir con respecto al estado actual del término en la actualidad. En general, se ha podido observar que existe una gran confusión y falta de consenso entre los autores en la conceptualización de la psicopatía y sus características, así como un gran desconocimiento sobre esta área en la población general.
