Is There Any Hope At All For Psychopaths?

Conclusions

Sewall makes a good point, stating that even if participants have a high score on the PCL-R psychopathy scale after treatment, it does not necessarily imply that the treatment was not fruitful. It is merely recidivism. The most important thing is to manage it rather than finding a cure. Prof. Buckholtz describes, “The same kind of short-sighted, impulsive decision-making that we see in psychopathic individuals has also been noted in compulsive overeaters and substance abusers.” Let us hope with the proper treatment, a psychopath can one day lead a normal life.
