Recently, there appeared the book "Confessions of a sociopath: to live, not looking in the eye," wrote the woman, hiding under the pseudonym M. E. Thomas. She tells what it means to be a sociopath — a person who is not capable of sincere feelings and empathy.
Sociopaths are more common than you might think — they can be smart and well educated, have a great job and a wide circle of friends. Their main drawback is that they tend to use people without thinking about morality and not taking into account the feelings, turning into a tool to achieve the goal.Sociopathic personality is at risk of becoming psychotic — it is a clear deviation in the behavior and violation of interaction with others.
"Sociopath" appeared among the psychological terms immediately, before these people felt a kind of psychopaths and, more recently, in the fourth edition of "Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders" the term "sociopathy" was replaced with "antisocial personality disorder".
The author tells us about his experience of sociopathy, despite the fact that she is a successful man, married, teaching law and working with children in Sunday school. However, as she says, all this does not matter if you're a sociopath.
For the first time this problem has affected a psychiatrist Harvey Cleckley, in his work entitled "Mask of sanity" published in 1941-m to year. He wrote that this deviation is quite difficult to diagnose as psychopaths and sociopaths often do not show pronounced symptoms of mental disorder.
Thomas gives in his book the 16 characteristics of psychopathy and sociopathy, Cleckley formulated. By answering these questions you can understand — whether you inherent in such quality as sociopathy.

Thomas, in his book emphasizes that sociopathy does not necessarily lead man to prison or madhouse: some of its properties, such as determination and resourcefulness, you can even wrap benefit.
