I just found an email(here) about a psychopath who has been successfully treated. I wasn't aware that this particular condition was treatable. So what's WP's opinion on this one? Can psychopaths be treated?

I didn't think they could but I am no expert on psychopaths. It would be good if they could though.

I didn't think they could either, but there are plenty of conditions we have been unable to treat in the past that we now have successful treatments for (borderline personality disorder being one of the more recent ones in the mental health sphere) so maybe things are changing. Would be great if so.
