sociopath  

Definición

  • The term sociopath refers to an individual who exhibits behaviors that are outside of society's norms and expectations. Sociopaths, as well as psychopaths, fall under the psychiatric umbrella diagnosis of persons with “antisocial personality disorder,” although many in the mental health profession feel that sociopaths and psychopaths are distinct personalities and should not be grouped under the same diagnostic category.
