[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 595332, member: 1550"] Robert Hare studied and wrote about sociopaths. Sociopaths do not have a normal conscience. That's what makes them sociopaths. They don't mind smiling at you and taking all your money and can pass for normal for long periods of time. See Ted Bundy. If your difficult child shows empathy and honest caring for others, he is something other than a sociopath. If the person is morally bankrupt because of drug use, then he is a drug addict, not a sociopath. The person has to be void of empathy at all times. The way I understand it, sociopaths don't understand the feelings that other people have. They are usually smart and can learn to mimic them, but they are not in the person's heart. Not all are killers, most are not. But they will take what they want and not think twice about how it may affect somebody else. I thought the Robert Hare book was very informative. [/QUOTE]
