There is no diference between a psychopath, psycho, sociopath etc. They are all terms to describe what we now call antisocial personality disorder. They are also now viewed as negative and offensive to those with this condition, although many of us with P.D.'s still use these terms to describe ourselves.

Although the switchover in terminology does exist, there are significant differences in the pathology and criteria of these disorders. Unfortunately this seems to be ignored by those in the field, or at least, I haven't been able to find out much tacking issues I've listed in the thread
guestions please.
For the purposes of the project, I don't think it's too advantageous to press the matter however.
What are you looking for in a case study? You may wish to head over to a book store and skim some of the many books on the topic.
