Gemütlose psychopathy

Gemütlose psychopathy was one of the initial seven forms of psychopathy identified by Emil Kraepelin and later psychiatrists. It was of particular interest to forensic psychiatrists and criminologists as it and haltlose personality disorder were considered the only two psychopathies that "had high levels of criminal behavior" without external influence, and thus made up the minority of psychopaths who are "virtually doomed to commit crimes" by virtue only of their own constitution.

They were described by Kurt Schneider as essentially lacking honor, pity, shame, remorse or conscience.

It is not a term in regular use today, but was used to describe what is today known as antisocial personality disorder.
