Sociopaths?

I'm curious whether anyone has seen success in homeopathic treatment
of someone diagnosed (if there even is a "diagnosis" for that) as a
true sociopath, lacking in an understanding of right versus wrong? I
know we have rubrics for this (and I'm not looking for rubrics), but am
curious whether anyone has input?

I have only treated children with severe learning difficulties with
this lack of understanding and I certainly wouldn't classify them as
sociopaths - this word has too many undetermined connotations as there
is also a level of 'positive' sociopathic behaviour - I really think it
depends on the context of what you are referring to. Everyone can
exhibit a lack of understanding right versus wrong :-) Joy

What would positive sociopathic behavior be?
Actually I do not have a specific example in mind, which I guess makes
it a poorly defined question...
Well, maybe that's all that can be said!
Thanks,

positive = any behaviour that is not in any way considered
pathological, i.e. relatively healthy.

not really

on the contrary, it is a very interesting subject. Joy
