Abstract:
Earlier studies about swindlers and swindling don't show any perturbations about clinical disorders. For the authors, this analysis implies different levels of criminal act; they put emphasis on relation between victims and perpetrators, mainly seduction and falsification. Several personality traits are enduring patterns of relating to and thinking about the environment which is component of characteristic personality disorders.
