Maybe I'm the only person to ever feel this way, ha, but like the title suggests, why do we make this our problem? ASPD vs. Antisocial behavior is one thing. But, we have a label, and no real treatment. Docs here pretty much just write (in sum) "Chronic high risk. Consequences should be managed through legal system." I don't think it takes a M.D. to reinforce not doing X so consequence of Y (jail, prison, etc) isn't suffered.
IED (i.e., Narcissistic Rage, ASPD, etc) has SSRIs, phenytoin and antipsychotics supposedly somewhere in there.
The only ASPD's I've seen even superficially motivated for treatment, are, court-mandated to said treatment.
I mean, that's great that they use primitive defenses and are rated more so on the extroversion side of things.
I don't intend to sound flippant, but what, really, are we to do. Why is this our problem? (This does not include ASPD with actual "axis I" (formerly known as) disorders).
