3. How would you describe the psychopath? Why are psychopaths so difficult to treat?
Answer: A conning and manipulative person, with little to no guilt is how I would best describe a psychopath. In fact most psychopaths are typically unable to express sympathy or empathy for anything or anyone, and most are known to lack any long-term goals or be motivated to do anything outside of what they are content with. Based off what knowledge that I’ve gained from reading this book, psychopaths are difficult to treat because they aren’t ever aware for that most part that they have done anything wrong. And with that being said it is very difficult to treat someone who feels as if they haven’t done anything wrong to begin with.
