Well, most doctors in Canada have very little psychological training. I don't know how the NHS works, but whatever. If you don't feel my 15 years of study is valid, that's your choice.
In answer to your musing, I would say no. Average (by that I mean those who are not sociopaths) people are forced to 'act' like sociopaths.
Shunning is a great example. A mother who shuns her son, and cries every night, feels guilty, depressed and hopeless, because for her, it is unnatural. She has a conscience, she has empathy, she loves her child. Only a sociopath would be able to do this to their child and not feel. That is the difference. This mother is being forced to act like a sociopath, and she does it because it is commanded by Jah (aka the GB), but she feels remorse and guilt, leading to depression. This is where the cognitive dissonance sets in .........
A true sociopath would feel no guilt, no remorse, and would not get depressed.
Voila! That's your answer (well, it's my answer).
