by SmiffyI thought that the term sociopath and psychopath were interchangeable?
Oh, dear me...
"Oftentimes, we think of the terms “psychopath†and “sociopath†as being
used interchangeably to describe people who have no conscience and act
with no regard to others; in fact, the terms were once fairly
interchangeable. Now, however, “psychopath†is usually used in regards
to someone who has crossed the line into the criminal element, while a
sociopath is of little danger to those around them. A psychopath is the
more dangerous of the two, but it’s also the one you’d never suspect a
person of being".The Difference Between Psychopaths And Sociopaths
That's just the first link. google "The Difference Between Psychopaths And Sociopaths". There is a ton of info.
That is interesting. Would not want to be the one to try to tell either of them apart though!
