What is a psychopath? Let me start off by saying the terms psychopathy and sociopathy are non-clinical terms that are not defined within the DSM-IV. Without medically defined meanings, there really isn’t any ability to define differences in between the terms. However researchers do use the term psychopathy. The shortest, simplest definition of a psychopath is someone who is sane but amoral. It is a character defect not a mental illness.
