Can Someone Be Part Sociopath and Part Better Human?

Question by Jeanne B: Can someone be part sociopath and part better human?
I had a boyfriend, now deceased, who fit the description of a sociopath part of the time, and had integrity and kindness and tolerance the rest of the time. My primary source of description of a sociopath is the book, “The Sociopath Next Door” by Martha Stout, ph.d. The symptoms I saw were right in line with the sociopath in personal decisions about himself, such as drug abuse, alcohol abuse, smoking even though he had terminal Cronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and decisions about himself and his personal health and safety.
Yet, with regards to myself, my mother, and his friends, he would spare no effort to be of service. He was supportive, always positive, and truely affectionate.
Is there a term that better describes this dichotomy? I’m looking for a wholisitic view on his personality.
