Ayrt
I agree 100%; that seriously bothers me, too. So many characters are falsely passed off as psychopaths and sociopaths these days. Though I do build up my knowledge constantly, I am confident that my characters with psychological conditions are represented accurately and realistically. That knowledge makes all the hard work worth it. I don’t think anyone should publish a novel, script, TV show, etc involving real-life concepts (especially such complex ones) without doing the proper research.
I’m not saying that psychopathy and sociopathy are actually two different things, because they are fundamentally the same thing, but the origin of the symptoms does differ. Consider the following passage from “Without Conscience” (by Hare):
“In many cases the choice of term reflects the user’s views on the origins and determinants of the clinical syndrome or disorder described in this book. Thus, some clinicians and researchers [...] who believe that the syndrome is forged entirely by social forces and early experiences prefer the term sociopath, whereas those – including this writer – who feel that psychological, biological, and genetic factors also contribute to development of the syndrome generally use the term psychopath.” - So, yes, Hare does acknowledge that there is a difference between the terms and does not use them interchangeably (in fact, Hare always uses the term psychopath). Many professionals do use them separately (my own criminal psychology professor, for instance) – using the term “sociopath” to describe a case where the person’s syndrome results from primarily social and familial factors, and “psychopath” where the origin is predominantly biological (ie, “born with it”). Personally, as a future psychiatrist, this is what I was taught and what I believe, but – as like many things in psychology – there is no clear consensus on this. They do represent essentially the same syndrome, though (with the exception of psychopaths not having the capacity to feel anything but basic emotion (non-reactive brain waves), diminished capacity to feel physical pain, etc, which I’m not sure would be present in someone who developed the syndrome through environmental factors).
