What is the difference between sociopath and psychopath?

flightofpain gave this response on 5/18/2000:

as far as I can tell there is no real difference. I believe that about 20 years ago people who committed crimes such as serial killings were called psychopaths, and then that term was changed to sociopaths. Now the terms seem to be interchangeable. flightofpain
