Abstract
- Mealey proposes two categorical classes of sociopath, primary and secondary. I criticize this distinction on the basis that “type” constructs of this kind have proved unrealistic in personality taxonomy and thatdimensionalsystems capture reality much more successfully. I suggest how such a system could work in this particular context.
