It's been tried already, actually. Long story short, you cannot. Or rather, with therapy alone, it doesn't work. For starters, therapy requires the patient to collaborate to even work.

It's worse with Sociopaths, since they excel at faking emotions and reactions, and at lying and manipulating. Meaning they will make the Therapist think it worked, but the Sociopath will simply walk off the room with no improvements beyond getting better at manipulating, now that they saw how a Therapy works.

Aditionally, to get the most out of therapy, you need to be a "good mental health consumer", in other words, you need to know which therapy you need. The people who need therapy the most, are often the least equipped for that.

Now, thanks to medicine it is possible to do that. But then the question is if the guys take their medication or not. Even then, it's not perfect.
