Can a person be a nonviolent psychopath--that is, can they be psychopathic and not resort to violent aggression?
If you could see what I've seen with your eyes.....
If you go to this website you will find the symptomology of psychopathy boiled down and in easily understood terms. Violence does not necessarily stand out as a definite symptom in all cases. I myself am extremely close friends with a diagnosed psychopath, and she has never been violend toward anyone but herself, and then only superficially. There are medicines out there that can help mitigate the symptoms. But there are lots and lots of other "pathy" problems out there too, so a person would need therapeutic counseling in order to help deal with his or her particular symptomology.
