psychopathy and sociopathy  

Définition

  • Psychopathy is a disorder of the personality—an enduring psychological disturbance beginning early in life and persisting throughout the life span. Traditionally, scholars have described psychopaths as individuals who lack empathy, loyalty, and guilt and who engage in persistent antisocial, impulsive, and irresponsible behavior.Psychopaths are not typically below average intelligence, but rather seem unable to use their intelligence to learn from mistakes.
