Coincidentally, I've been researching sociopaths (and by extension, psychopaths to some degree). I've found that most have no interest in "treatment." They view their way of thinking as an asset that allows them to be clear-headed and rational, and to get what they want out of life without all those pesky things like "conscience" getting in the way of success.
So this brings up an interesting conundrum: clearly, it's to society's advantage to "cure" these people because they pose a threat to the fragile stability of social life by violating norms (and laws!) that neuro-typical people adhere to. However, normally medical treatment is left entirely in the hands of the person. Who wins in this case?
