Callous unemotional traits (CUT) are described as stable characteristics in children and adolescents with conduct disorders (CD), and the presence of these traits has been associated with more aggressive and persistent manifestations across life span (Frick & White, 2008). CUT denomination was modified to help reduce the stigma associated with this name, and it is now known as Limited Prosocial Emotions (LPE). LPE characteristics appear to identify an etiologically distinct group of children and adolescents with CD who are at a heightened risk for future maladjustment (Colins, Fanti, & Andershed, 2021).
The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM- 5; APA, 2013) included LPE as a specifier for CD. The eleventh version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11; WHO, 2019) incorporated it as a specifier for CD as well as for oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). It should be noted that this specifier requires the presence of at least two of four characteristics to establish the diagnosis: lack of empathy, lack of guilt, lack of interest in performance, and shallow/deficient affect.
