Welcome back to the Working Out The Inside podcast. This is episode 16: Psychopaths, Sociopaths, Anti-Social Behavior, and Consequence in Psychotherapy. Some of the issues discussed include what is the difference between psychopaths and sociopaths, are psychopaths and sociopaths born that way or created over time, how is anti-social behavior a different category, why is psychotherapy contraindicated with psychopaths, was Tony Soprano a psychopath or just a good family man, and why is certainty of consequence an underrated aspect of dealing with deviant behavior--whether in psychotherapy or other forms of treatment?
