There are genetic and societal influences in APD. I know this for a fact. I've studied and seen too much.
He may have eventually "become a lifer" but psychopaths are slick and can appear likeable. There's plenty of evidence of that in his case.
I understand your point but I strongly disagree with the notion that, "He would have gotten out and done the right thing..." because that is an absolute impossible task for the psychopath.
They just aren't capable of that under any circumstances.
It's confounding and jaw dropping when that realization hits. It is just not safe for anyone else to be around them and that includes other psychopaths.
Plus, of all of the disorders APD is the least likely to be remedied by any type of therapy.
They just can't change.
They are extremely dangerous.
So though I agree with you generally, I have to respectfully disagree on the finer points.
But I deeply appreciate your replies, Botany. Thank you.
