Can a sociopath “immune to remorse and guilt” learn to be a good person? The extract

Use the word sociopath in conversation and you're bound to see raised eyebrows, or worse. The word itself has become less of a mental diagnosis and more of an insult you throw at someone. But what does it really mean to be a sociopath? Dr. Patric Gagné offers a definition from both a clinical and personal point of view. Her new book is called "Sociopath: A Memoir/," Gagné's first-hand account of how she came to terms with her own sociopathy, shedding light on a mental disorder that is often demonized and misunderstood.
