Unfortunately, sociopathies are character disorders, and cannot be cured, at least by any technique known at this time. What you can do is try and set a specific set of "rules" of behavior a true sociopath can learn by rote. If this is done well, it can ease a lot of the difficulties the sociopathic client experiences.
A sociopath is someone who lacks the ability to care for the feelings of others. This can make a sociopath very dangerous, because if you do not care for the feelings of others, it's more easy to hurt or exploit people. Sociopaths generally don't feel remorse when they hurt someone else.
^this person didn't actually answer the question. One theory is environmental, that if someone is neglected or abused from the time they're born, they will never learn how to make connections with other people. As they get older, they may exploit this phenomenon, knowing that they are not hindered by the moral mores of other people.
Another theory is biological/organic. Studying the brains of "sociopaths" has revealed both a lack of communication between the amygdala and the frontal lobe, as well as a significantly smaller amygdala itself. Hope that helps :)
people can't help being a sociopath. they can hide symptoms, but that is about all they can do.
well first of all call the cops
"You are a sociopath." However, if they truly are, it won't matter to that person.
confront them
sociopath
Of course they can! And as befitting their psychological trait, they are often callous with their choice of partner (because they have no conscience) and totally self-centred in their derivation of pleasure from the act. And everybody know that sex is a powerful weapon of control, and control/abuse/manipulation are fundamental to a sociopath's existence.
Someone who is obsessed with themselves is commonly referred to as narcissistic or self-absorbed.
I would say watch out, but I dont know why someone would knowingly marry a sociopath in the first place.
Sociopath seems to be someone who has ill intentions and is purposely hurtful while someone with explosive rage may just have problems dealing with anger and bottles it up until it turns to rage.
A sociopath.
No, they aren't. A paraplegic is someone who is paralyzed, and a sociopath is someone who has no empathy for others. The two are completely different.
Martha Stout PhD. states in her book "The Sociopath Next Door" that "if someone makes you feel sorry for them while continuing to hurt you on a regular basis, chances are close to 100% you are dealing with a sociopath". I would imagine this would especially apply to boyfriends.
It is the place that the sociopath wants you in, they want you to rely on them, to care so much that you will do anything. To cater to their every need. They enjoy the power of being one who can control others.
im someone who does not do to others as they have done to me. my sister is a sociopath liar and my "revenge" was to just simply tell her what was wrong with her. i wanted to help her. i feel like you would waste your time with someone who didn't have a conscious .maybe real revenge may be the answer...?im just as confused
