As high levels of psychopathic traits designate a severe group of antisocial individuals, there is an important need to find its correlates and intervention targets. In particular, there is a need to identify key dimensions of parent-child relationships that are related to psychopathic traits. The aim of the current study was to investigate relations between psychopathic traits and attachment to parents in female and male inpatient adolescents.
