The Relationship between Cognitive Style and Defensive Process in the Psychopath

CARL B. GACONO

J. REID MELOY

San Diego County Department of Health Services University of San Diego School of Law

The authors review Yochelson and Samenow's (1977) model of the criminal mind. They propose a levels hypothesis for understanding the relationship among object relations, defensive operations, and the conscious cognitive-behavioral style of the psychopath. They advocate the addition of an explicit psychodynamic dimension to Yochelson and Samenow's model. A hypothetical case is presented to illustrate the relationship between unconscious defense process and conscious cognitive-behavioral style of the psychopathic personality.
