If you are asking if people can make major behavioral changes, the answer is obviously yes. I can turn you into a murderer, i can torture you to psychosis, i can convince you to join a cult and slowly turn you into a completely different person with different values. For the most part, a person cannot make major and quick positive changes in who they are without wanting to and without making a focused and persistent effort to do so.
Is it possible to stop being a sociopath? I'm asking for a friend.
