Dissociality
Dissociality (from the Latin prefix dis- = “un-” and Latin socialis = “community”) is a term that comes from psychology and sociology . This characterizes behaviors that do not fit into an existing social norm and value system. In addition to the ability and willingness of a person to categorize this, this also depends on the respective norm and value system itself. Antisocial behavior comprises a large number of different problematic behaviors that have in common the violation of age-appropriate social expectations, rules and informal and formal norms.
In contrast to the colloquial word anti-sociality used nowadays, anti-sociality is rarely found in German usage. Dissociality is mostly used in addition to the already mentioned subject areas in legal contexts and occasionally in educational diagnoses . So is z. For example, criminals and offenders talk about antisocial behavior, but also introverted or reserved people who completely isolate themselves from society are sometimes referred to as antisocial behavior.
Dissociality is also used in social pedagogy as a substitute for the word “ neglect ”, since dissociality, in contrast to neglect, does not have a negative connotation (Schilling, 2005).
In the ICD-10 , dissocial (antisocial) personality disorder is listed under the code number F60.2.
During the time of National Socialist racial hygiene , a distinction was made between ( endogenous ) dissociality, which was racially or hereditary, and ( exogenous ) antisociality, which was brought about or acquired through external influences. Attempts to combat exogenous antisociality were predominantly through forced upbringing, juvenile detention centers and labor education camps, while the consequences of the diagnosis of endogenous antisociality were mostly medical attempts and euthanasia . Both anti-sociality and anti-sociality were interpreted as politically motivated and thus interpreted as a “crime against the national community”.

Not every use of dissociality as a term is meant in the sense of a (mental) disorder. While the DSM-IV expressly only permits the diagnosis of dissocial personality disorder from the age of 19, the ICD-10 does not specify any correspondingly narrow limits. In addition to social deviance , the ICD-10 criteria describe characteristic features, in particular egocentricity, a lack of empathy and poor conscience. Criminal antisocial acts are therefore not a sine qua non . At least three of the characteristics listed in the ICD-10 must be fulfilled. These include:
- Cold feeling and a lack of empathy towards others
- Disregard for social norms
- Relationship weakness and attachment disorder
- Low tolerance for frustration and impulsive-aggressive behavior
- Lack of guilty life and inability to social learn
- Superficial explanation for one's own behavior and unjustified accusation of others
- Persistent irritability.
