    El presente artículo tiene como objetivo el desarrollo de una evaluación forense en el medio penitenciario para determinar la presencia de psicopatología y riesgo de reincidencia, así como la necesidad de tratamiento terapéutico. El interno se encuentra cumpliendo condena de 20 años por más de diez delitos de agresión sexual (violador serial), robo con intimidación y exhibicionismo. La evaluación forense del agresor es un procedimiento muy técnico y complejo condicionado por variables como el contexto, el momento en el que se realiza y las características del evaluado. Se concluye que el peritado presenta rasgos de personalidad compatibles con el constructo psicopatía, con un riesgo de reincidencia delictiva en la actualidad moderado y riesgo de reincidencia de violencia sexual alto, por lo que se necesita intervención psicológica específica. Precisamente por la necesidad de ajustar el tratamiento a las necesidades criminógenas del interno, en el presente artículo se hace una revisión de los últimos datos empíricos sobre la psicopatía y sus tratamientos.

    This article aims to develop a forensic assessment inside penal institutions to identify potential psychopathology and risk of recidivism, including the need for psychotherapeutic treatment. The inmate is serving a 20-year sentence for more than ten crimes of sexual assault (serial rapist), robbery with intimidation, and exhibitionism. The forensic assessment of the offender is highly technical and complex and determined by variables such as the context, when it is carried out, and the nature of the individual under assessment. It was concluded that the examinee has personality traits consistent with the construct of psychopathy, presenting a moderate risk of recidivism and a high risk of sexual violence re-offense, thus indicating that specific psychological intervention is required. Given the need to adapt therapy to the criminogenic needs of the inmate, this article provides a review of the latest empirical findings in the field of psychopathy and associated treatments.
