I'd love to see a link to a few articles as to the nature versus nurture aspect to psychopathy vs sociopathy. Oh, there's plenty.......too many, truth be told. Makes it far more confusing than it has to be. Especially with the various subsets of anti-social personality disorder's thrown into the mix. Not to mention the fact that similar symptoms can be found in people ranging from narcissism to straight up autism (lessened degree of empathy, yada yada yada).

Regardless, I inevitably end up getting bored and go read East of Eden.......oh, Cathy, you psychopathic bitch. ;)

Oh, and once I went off and read "Confessions of a Sociopath", after hearing about it in Psychology Today. Not bad, but.......a little repetitive at times, and at points seemed to lose it's overall meaning. If there was one.......
