That his sociopathy was cured for good? Hmm...I didn't think that sociopathy was something that could be cured.
Peter Ahlstrom:
They cured one in House, when it was a symptom of a different underlying condition.
I thought the implication in Dan's book was that John's sociopathic tendencies were a result of trauma from his father abandoning him, rather than an incurable genetic condition.
dhalagirl:
I've always thought of it as being like autism in that the brain is unable to communicate with the empathetic part of the brain. I might be mistaken though. I haven't studied it.
Fellfrosch:
True sociopathy is a combination of physiology and emotional trauma.
dhalagirl:
Ahh. So a true sociopath can be treated (for the emotional trauma) but they'll always have those tendencies. Got it.
