If Callisto were a real psychopath, she wouldn't care about dying/or being scared/or alone. Psychopaths don't need people. And Sociopaths, whilst they lack empathy, they don't have attachments. Callisto has a love/hate attachment to Xena. She's a borderline.

I don't think she honestly earned it and she seemed pretty content to being a villain. The difference between Callisto and Xena, as Hercules himself said was that Xena WANTED to change. Hercules couldn't do anything by himself. Then again Callisto was so insane and far gone, that if you really wanted her redeemed (which I did), maybe that was the only possible way. And I really loved the part where they "give each other what they once took." That's probably one of my favorite moments of the entire show.
