Psychopath was a medical disorder that was created while looking at incarcerated criminals. The attributes include:
– lack of empathy
– disregard for consequences
– promiscuity
– glibness/superficial charm
Sociopath was never a medical diagnosis, but means basically the same thing in lay terms, with special emphasis on lack of empathy. In common parlance, “psychopath” has been more often used for psychotic behavior.
