I’ve read a couple of articles by people, including IIRC a mental health professional, who think that the label* of “psychopath” applies to them. They were discussing and looking for good-faith coping mechanisms and self-checks so that their destructive behaviours would not continue to affect them and those around them adversely (because some people, including family members and co-workers, were recognising them for what they were). There’s still an element of self-interest involved, but also what seems to be a genuine recognition that being a psychopath is not a good thing.
[* it’s not a diagnosis]
