Doesn't seem true, Witcher's definitely get emotional and Cats are known in particular to be overcome with blind rage. While mutation and altered hormones might effect emotional response a seeming lack of empathy might be more of a facet of being much longer lived than humans thus meaning most people you know will die long before you, killing for a living which can include potentially intelligent creatures, knowing full well that a lot of monsters exist specifically because of human evils, investigating curses which are often linked to horrific crimes and depravities, and generally the long-term effects of being an outsider in human society - especially when society is largely amoral at best and psychopathically racist at worst - and to a lesser extent vastly superior physical abilities and immunity to disease can remove Witcher's from the same sense of hardship in daily life for most humans making it difficult to relate or understand them any more.

All that said? I think Lambert's a dick. Not a dick in a cool way either. He has sympathetic moments, I'll admit. He didn't ask to be a Witcher and he has a right to be pissed about it but when you discuss how easy it is to go too far with the mind-altering axii sign and trade stories about the time he killed an uninvolved troll when bandits were the real cause of highway murders he was investigating for the sake of profit it's clear he enjoys holding power over the lives of others and thinks little of abusing it.
