Honestly, it seems FOA gets it (and is probably the only person to know what a psychopath is). The governor loves that little girl. In fact, he's very much using her as a surrogate for his own daughter. He's done everything he felt he could, in his own smurfed up way, to try and stop being the Governor and just be as happy as he could with that family. He shows no remorse when he kills because he feels what he's doing is right and justified to keep them safe. He kept his zombie daughter around because he was desperate to find a cure. An actual psychopath would have put a bullet in her brain and moved on.
I'm actually a bit surprised that this stuff isn't obvious. Now if we were talking about the comic Governor you'd be pretty much on point, but this guy isn't a psychopath. Everything he does is for a reason and to protect himself and people he cares about. Now what he does is really smurfed up, but that in and of itself doesn't make him a psychopath.
EDIT: The governor didn't sabotage the prison Shaibana. Where we see him outside of it at the end of the episode is clearly the first time he even cared about going there. And since we see Rick and Carl eating their peas and Michonne and Hershel outside the fence getting some supplies and stuff we're seeing him basically arrive at the prison right at the point he was revealed during the last prison group episode.
