Is there hope for the psychopa
Is there hope for the psychopaIn a world full of fears, perhaps the worst one a human being should have is that to be afraid of his fellow man. The human that should be most feared is possibly he who has Anti-Social Personality Disorder, or in layman's terms, the psychopath.
