Sociopath =/= antisocial personality disorder. IIRC, "sociopath" isn't a clinical term at all (nor is "psychopath").

[(Anonymous)]

A popular term for this type of individual is “sociopath”.

Learn to read before you type.

[(Anonymous)]

Since it is not a clinical term, we return to a dictionary definition, which merely says "extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience". It's a lot more vague, and a lot harder to argue that someone doesn't meet the criteria.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol wow, someone is trying to argue with the DSM-IV over something they found on dictionary.com.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

No, look, it's simple.

The word 'sociopath' is not a DSM-IV term. It's a word that is sometimes used to refer to a specific personality disorder that is on the DSM-IV, but it is not an actual clinical term.

Therefore.

It is perfectly valid to use the dictionary definition of sociopath when deciding whether a fictional character is or isn't a sociopath.

Does that make sense?

[(Anonymous)]

Don't want to get involved in this little mess, but if you have the time you should read "The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stout, Ph.D. It's actually really good, and it goes into all of this.

But yes, according to Dr. Stout, Sociopaths and those with ASPD are the same thing.

(To other anon involved in this argument): Have you ever actually met a sociopath? If you answered no, then I guess sociopaths aren't as obvious as you seem to think, unless you've met less then 25 people in your life.

[(Anonymous)]

I actually am a sociopath, so.
