A killer psychopath and even Russians. Monster Portrait - Serial Killer Research. Different types of different serial killers

According to statistics, each of us has encountered several psychopaths throughout our lives. But do not confuse psychopaths and psychotics. The latter lose touch with reality (for example, in schizophrenia, delusional disorder, dissociative identity disorder, or multiple personality disorder). Psychopaths, unlike psychotics, know exactly what they are doing, but either they cannot restrain themselves, or they don’t worry, committing crimes and atrocities. However, not all criminals are psychopaths and not all psychopaths become criminals. Prominent Canadian forensic psychologist Dr. Robert D. Hare listed the following characteristics of psychopathy:

lack of empathy
lack of remorse or guilt
impulsiveness
superficial charm
shallow emotions
great sense of self-worth
irresponsibility
manipulative behavior
early behavioral problems

By the way, most Disney villains are probably psychopaths. But we did not include them in this list. But we offer you a selection of films with the most terrible, insane, and sometimes funny psychopaths in the history of cinema.

Seven Psychopaths (2012)

Psychopath: Billy Bickle (Sam Rockwell)

As the name suggests, this black comedy by writer and director Martin McDonagh has enough characters to call psychopaths. But the unemployed actor Billy especially distinguished himself by kidnapping dogs and ready to do anything to help his friend Marty finish the script for "Seven Psychopaths".

In the Company of Men (1997)

Psychopath: Chad (Aaron Eckhart)

Chad is a prime example of a nonviolent psychopath, terrifying precisely because of what seems completely normal. He comes up with a brutal plan, which becomes the central plot of the film: Chad decides with his colleague and friend Howard (Matt Malloy) to get to know a woman, seduce her, and then simultaneously leave.

Here we are dealing not with physical violence, but with emotional. The film serves as a reminder that some psychopaths revel in causing mental distress.

Funny Games (1997)

Psychopath: Paul (Arno Frisch)

This film by Michael Haneke is sure to impress any horror fan with violence and immorality. The family, who arrived at their house by the lake with the intention of resting, becomes a victim of psychological and physical torture by two young sadists who came to them.

Peeping Tom (1960)

Psychopath: Mark Lewis (Karlheinz Boehm)

This British film by Michael Powell had a huge impact on the development of the thriller and horror genre. True, when it appeared on the screen, a flurry of criticism fell upon him, the film was banned in the United Kingdom, but over time, The Peeping One was praised for its psychological complexity, especially in the relationship between the protagonist, his father and the victims.

The key character doesn't look like a classic maniac. He is a very quiet, insecure, frightened and sexually oppressed young man who works as a camera assistant. As a child, his father conducted unusual psychological experiments on him, investigating the nature of fear. Now he starts killing women and filming their frightened faces on camera.

Koroshiya 1 (2001)

Psychopath: Masao Kakihara (Asano Tadanobu)

In some countries, such as Malaysia and Norway, this film is prohibited. But bans tend to fuel public interest even further.

What's really important about this film is the amount of emotion and shock it generates. Connoisseurs of the Takashi Miike style will enjoy the entertaining history of the yakuza, intertwined with black humor, fountains of blood and sadomasochistic torture.

Aguirre, Der Zorn Gottes (1972)

Psychopath: Don Lope de Aguirre (Klaus Kinski)

The plot is based on a real story in the 16th century. The Spanish conquistador Aguirre went in search of the mythical city of El Dorado. After organizing a rebellion, the power-hungry and megalomaniac Aguirre directs the team down the river to inevitable doom.

The film went down in history as an ode to the best works of Werner Herzog, bringing fame to both the director and the actor Klaus Kinski, who played the key role. “Aguirre, God's Wrath” is a cinematic classic that deserves the attention of every serious fan of world cinema.

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989)

Psychopath: Albert Spica (Michael Gambon)

The vile, disgusting and hot-tempered gangster Albert is sincerely confident in his culture and sophistication. He buys a first-class French restaurant, where he dines every day with his wife Georgina and mocks everyone along the way.

Natural Born Killers (1994)

Psychopaths: Mickey Knox (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory Knox (Juliet Lewis)

A film by Oliver Stone about assassins working in tandem. Mickey and Mallory Knox travel Route 666 and kill people for no reason, just for fun. The media talk about them in a sensational manner and turn the couple into a real legend.

Violence, shown at a frantic pace, is used as the most exciting element in the film. The scenes are filled with blood and murder against the backdrop of the couple's mad love. The main "evil" here, it seems, is that the heroes do not care about anyone but themselves. This film is also a satire on the media, where violence is widely used to increase ratings.

The Night of the Hunter (1955)

Psychopath: Reverend Robert Mitchum (Harry Powell)

The film is based on the novel of the same name, based on real events.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

Psychopath: Mr. Blond (Michael Madsen)

Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut brought him his first recognition from the general public and critics. Particularly impressive in this iconic film is the torture scene when Mr. Blond (Michael Madsen) tries to find out from the unfortunate police officer (Kerk Baltz) who warned the cops about the impending robbery of a jewelry store.

Oil / There Will Be Blood (2007)

Psychopath: Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis)

A man-hater, greedy, selfish and completely incapable of loving anyone or anything other than oil and success. Such is Daniel Plainview, a successful businessman, the embodiment of the American dream, an oil tycoon who started out as an ordinary miner.

"Oil" is usually described as an American drama, but it is easily drawn to a horror movie. We watch the protagonist gradually go into madness, just like Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Day-Lewis is so good in this role that it actually gets scary. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best films of the 2000s.

Cape Fear (1991)

Psychopath - Max Cadey (Robert De Niro)

The remake, perhaps, surpassed the original film by J. Lee Thompson, created in 1962 based on the novel by John D. MacDonald "The Executioners". Martin Scorsese cast Robert De Niro as a hardened criminal.

No Country for Old Men (2007)

Psychopath: Anton Chigur (Javier Bardem)

The Coen brothers shot this thriller based on the novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy and created one of the most realistic portraits of a psychopath on the screen. The film received 8 Oscar nominations, half of which received.

We do not receive any information about the biography of the killer named Anton Chigur. We just observe how a hired killer who has run out of reels, without the slightest sympathy or remorse, kills everyone in his path, trying to return a large amount of money that accidentally fell into the hands of a simple hard worker.

Seven / Se7en (1995)

Psychopath: John Doe (Kevin Spacey)

This ominous movie begins with a young man, Jeffrey, returning from college to a small town due to his father's sudden stroke. On his way from the hospital, he stumbles upon a severed human ear next to a forest. Jeffrey calls the police, but decides to solve this secret on his own.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)

Psychopath: Henry (Michael Rooker)

Filmed in 28 days on a $ 110,000 budget, John McNaughton's debut film drew polarizing views among audiences.

The film is based on the real life story of serial killer Henry Lee Lucas.

Misery (1990)

Psychopath: Annie Wilkes (Katie Bates)

The film by Rob Reiner is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. It tells the story of a writer named Paul Sheldon who gets caught in a blizzard and his car is blown off the road.

At first, she rejoices at the opportunity to read Sheldon's new novel before anyone else, but upon learning that her beloved heroine is dying, Annie becomes furious and demands to rewrite history. She keeps Paul with broken legs in her house in the mountains, and no one knows where the writer has gone.

The film's strong point is definitely the outstanding performance of Katie Bates. The actress received an Oscar and a Golden Globe for this role.

Sexy Beast (2000)

Psychopath: Don Logan (Ben Kingsley)

Ben Kingsley has proven his brilliant acting versatility. After the convincing image of Mahatma Gandhi, we see him in the opposite role of a mad and evil gangster who appeared to a retired former accomplice in order to convince him to take part in the "robbery of the century."

Schindler's List (1993)

Psychopath: Amon Goth (Rafe Fiennes)

The character Amon Goet was created on the basis of a real person, whose cruel actions are depicted without exaggeration.

Although not every fan knows how time-consuming it was to prepare Ledger for this shoot, including practicing Joker's voice and laughing while locked in a hotel room for weeks.

Clockwork Orange (1971)

Psychopath: Alex Delarge (Malcolm McDowell)

An iconic adaptation from director Stanley Kubrick to the acclaimed novel by Anthony Burgess. A Clockwork Orange is one of the most popular films in the history of cinema, directed by one of the most popular directors. It tells about a young guy named Alex, who, together with his gang, rampages in the city, and after the murder of a woman goes to jail. In conclusion, he agrees to undergo experimental treatment to get rid of his addiction to violence. But the program has side effects.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Psychopath: Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins)

Hannibal Lecter is a psychiatrist, murderer and cannibal with an ingenious IQ, serving time in a special isolation ward. Although the main antagonist in this film is a serial killer nicknamed Buffalo Bill, Anthony Hopkins, who won an Oscar for his role as Lecter, is capturing the audience's attention. In general, the film was awarded five cherished statuettes and ranked among the most outstanding film works of all times and peoples.

American Psycho (2000)

Psychopath: Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale)

Patrick Bateman is a young man working on Wall Street. He strives for success at work, attends fashionable and prestigious establishments, wears stylish clothes. Every day Patrick pays attention to his appearance, takes care of his skin, face and body. He also kills people. Almost every day.

An interesting feature of American Psychopath is the contrast. Mary Harron's film is filled with perfect facades, beauty and symmetry. These cold, almost Kubrick-like images are in stark contrast to outbursts of violence and bloody murders. The same can be said for the main character, whose calmness alternates with extreme cruelty.

The worst criminals, serial or mass murderers for example, we often call non-humans. It seems like a metaphor - well, of course, they are people who lived among us, similar to us, just their actions go against the generally accepted ideas about good and evil. And yet the label "non-human" contains a hint of biological dissimilarity. Something in these criminals is not right, not humanly arranged.

About whether there are natural-born murderers and whether it is possible to identify a potential criminal based on physiological characteristics, they thought back in the 18th-19th centuries. / bm9icg ===> ekah, when scientific ideas about living things that were making their way were coexisting and competing with various exotic delusions.

Fortune telling by the skull

The Austrian physician Franz Josef Gall (1758−1828) created a doctrine called phrenology. Gall, it seemed to him, was able to determine which parts of the brain are responsible for certain spiritual abilities. Moreover, the presence and severity of these abilities were, in the opinion of the naturalist, reflected in the construction of the cranium. That is, it is enough to examine the skull with knowledge of the matter, and you can come to the conclusion who is in front of you: potential Mozart or potential Jack the Ripper. The skull was actually given more importance than the brain. Even in those ancient times, Dr. Gall was known as a scandalous person, and his contemporaries criticized his theories and love for skulls. But it is Gall who owns the ingenious guess that intelligence is associated with the frontal lobe of the brain. Phrenology, on the other hand, did not justify itself as a method for identifying socially dangerous individuals.

The basic method for identifying a neurophysiological predisposition to psychopathy is to scan the brain of a person with diagnosed psychopathy and compare the data obtained with the results of brain studies of a healthy individual. The total is presented in the form of a comparative table, where the connections between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala are indicated with a yellow marker. The weakening of the signal from the prefrontal cortex results in a weak emotional response to something that would be terrifying in a normal person.

Already in the second half of the 19th century, the no less scandalous Italian psychiatrist Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909) got down to business. He believed that human criminal inclinations were physiologically predetermined and looked for evidence of these inclinations in phenotypic features: sloping forehead, large ears, asymmetry of the face and skull, prognathism (protrusion of the upper or lower jaw), excessive arm length. Lombroso believed that all these signs indicate an underdeveloped, atavistic person close to wild primates. Such people, according to the Italian psychiatrist, are doomed to be sociopaths and criminals. Lombroso's ideas and research methods were also criticized, but for that time they were not at all something exotic or marginal. A contemporary of Lombroso and a relative of Darwin, Briton Francis Galton developed the theory of "eugenics", the essence of which is in the application of artificial selection to mankind of the type that is practiced in animal husbandry. People with good physical and intellectual abilities should reproduce. Those who, in Galton's opinion, fell into the category of defective, should be removed from reproduction. For the time being, all these were just theories, but when the Nazis came to power in Germany, they began to translate such ideas into practice. After the victory over Nazi Germany and the publication of data on the crimes of the Nazis, discussions about the biological foundations of antisocial behavior were not that banned in Europe, but passed into the category of not very desirable. The point of view prevailed that the offender is formed by the social environment, dysfunctional families, and childhood traumas.

Prison Science

Meanwhile, since the time of Gall and Lombroso, the science of living things has gone far ahead. Humanity has learned about genes, neurophysiology has made great progress. And the question of whether the innate predisposition to terrible crimes is not “wired up” in physiology could not but be raised. Sooner or later.

Adrian Raine presented the results of his research in the controversial book Anatomy of Violence. While insisting on the importance of his work, the author does not deny the influence of the environment on the formation of the criminal's personality.

In recent decades, the term "neurocriminology" has even appeared, denoting a subdiscipline aimed at studying the structural features of the brain, which could serve as the biological basis for antisocial behavior. Particular attention is focused on the causes of psychopathy - a mental anomaly that deprives a person of sympathy for other people's suffering, giving personality such traits as cynicism and resourcefulness. It is this disorder that is characteristic, as a rule, of serial killers, for whom the deprivation of a person's life is not a serious moral problem.

Whatever one may say, modern researchers have to follow the same path that Lombroso once moved. Go to jail. Of course, not in order to serve time there, but to be closer to the desired material for study. One of the founders of neurocriminology, Briton Adrian Rain, spent four years in two maximum security prisons as a psychologist in the early 1980s. From places not so distant, Raine brought up such ideas that in tolerant England he did not receive any grants, and in 1987 the scientist moved to the United States, where they are calmer about the study of biological predisposition to crime, and there is more material for scientific work. Crime in the United States is higher than in good old Europe, and there are many prisons in the New World.

Don't fall off the cherry

Research into the physiological causes of psychopathy is very important for understanding the phenomenon of serial killers and other villains, but not all psychopaths are natural born killers and not all killers are psychopaths. Some research suggests that recidivist murderers include people with other types of mental disabilities, such as borderline personality disorder. In addition, if we talk about lesions of the frontal lobes as a factor contributing to the development of an asocial personality, then this defeat may not be congenital. There is an example of the serial killer Albert Fish, known as the "Brooklyn Vampire". Albert grew up a normal boy, until at the age of seven he fell from a cherry and suffered a head injury. After this, the child began to suffer from headaches, and he himself began to show signs of aggressiveness. At 20, he killed his first victim and ate it.

In America, Raine was one of the first to use modern medical technologies, in particular, positron emission tomography (PET), to study the brains of criminals. The scientist selected two groups: one consisted of 41 convicted murderers, the other - 41 law-abiding citizens. The PET images showed significant differences between the brain of the prisoner and the brain of the inhabitant of the will, primarily in metabolic activity. If we talk about the structure, then the brain of the criminal showed an underdevelopment of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible, in particular, for social interaction. All these features can have as consequences poor control over the limbic system, which generates such basic emotions as anger and rage, as well as a lack of self-control, an inclination to take risks. What are these, if not the traits of a criminal personality?

Brain explosion

Studies leading to similar results were carried out in a number of research centers, for example, at the University of Wisconsin in Madison (USA). A paper published in 2011 presents the results of brain scans of psychopathic criminals. Evidence suggests that psychopathy is caused by a weakened connection between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala, part of the limbic system. At the same time, negative signals from the prefrontal cortex when processed by the amygdala do not lead to the emergence of strong emotions. Hence the lack of compassion and guilt, which is characteristic of the psychopathic personality.

Moreover, there are scientific works showing the connection of criminal biography not only with the structure of the brain, but also with certain genes. Last year, professor at the Karolinska University of Medicine in Stockholm, Jari Tiihonen, said that he was able to find in the genome of people who have committed crimes of a violent nature, the alleles CDH13 and MAOA, the so-called gene of warriors.

The gene for monoamine oxidase MAO is responsible for the production of the reward hormone dopamine, but in mutated variant A it can be very dangerous, in particular because a person with this gene, when using alcohol or drugs, gets a sharp increase in dopamine production, which "blows up the brain" and leads to uncontrolled aggression. The CDH13 gene also has harmful effects on behavior, in particular, it has been linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Will it become easier for a person to live if he learns that he is biologically predisposed to aggressiveness and psychopathic manifestations? Perhaps the principle “who is forewarned is armed” can work here as well. And the ominous call of nature can be corrected by an effort of will or with the help of corrective psychological trainings.

Failed psychopath

Does all of the above testify to the correctness of Lombroso and the supporters of eugenics? Of course not, because if a biological predisposition to asocial behavior exists, then it is only one of the factors in the formation of a personality, and other factors may include the social environment, family environment, stress, trauma, etc. An interesting story in this regard is the story of the American neurophysiologist James Fallon, who has also been searching for the causes of psychopathy for a long time, studying brain scans of all kinds of asocial types. His life literally turned the conversation with his old mother, who told Fallon about his father's pedigree. It turned out that in the line of ancestors, which is known until the 17th century, there are at least seven murderers. Then the researcher scanned his own brain and found that it had all the hallmarks of the brain of an inveterate psychopath. The same problem of underdevelopment of the prefrontal cortex and, therefore, a weak connection with the amygdala. The picture was very much like a snapshot of the brain of one of the serial killers. Fallon recalled that in his youth, perhaps his predisposition to psychopathy made itself felt. He was a real daredevil, detonated homemade bombs, stole cars, organized other risky entertainment and involved his friends in them. He was characterized by narcissism and devilish self-confidence. But his youth passed, and in the end James Fallon turned into a quiet family man and a successful neurophysiologist. Hence, there is no doom.

Science or freedom?

Neuro-forensic research raises a number of questions of a moral, ethical or even political nature for humanity. If some genetic or neurophysiological traits are finally declared risk factors for their owner, how should society and the state relate to such an individual? Will not they, these signs, become a kind of stigma that, given the availability of modern means of disseminating and searching for information, will accompany him all his life, prevent him, for example, from choosing the desired field of activity. Is it necessary, when identifying anxious predispositions, to compel a person to participate in programs for personality correction, suppression of what has become an unwanted gift of nature? How, from the point of view of respect for individual rights, will it look like attempts to literally get into someone's head, supposedly for reasons of public safety? It is difficult to foresee what the answers to these questions will be, but it is unlikely that the solution lies in the plane of prohibitions and suppression of scientific achievements in this area. We will still be interested in who we are and why.

Murderers, maniacs, cannibals - all these are criminals, guilty of terrible crimes. Among them there are representatives of the weaker sex, who were not less cruel than men.

The most brutal killer maniacs

There are many killer maniacs in the world. They are responsible for the death of several thousand people. According to psychologists, maniacs are people with serious mental disorders caused by mental trauma or congenital diseases received in childhood.

Killer clown

In 1994, after lethal injection, "The Clown Killer" died. His real name is John Wayne Gacy. The maniac worked at children's parties as a clown, for which he received his nickname. 33 boys were raped and killed by him. The police found 27 of them in the basement of the maniac, the rest, according to Gacy, he drowned in the river.

Maniac named "Clown" euthanized

Serial maniac Sergei Tkach

Another cruel killer maniacs is Sergei Tkach. He himself claims that on his account there are about a hundred lives of teenage girls. Law enforcement agencies were able to prove the rape and murder of only twenty-seven girls. The most surprising thing is that Tkach himself worked as an investigator in law enforcement agencies. The killer was detained in his house in the town of Pologi, Zaporozhye region in August 2005.

Indonesian maniac Ahmad Suraji

Ahmad Suraji is an Indonesian maniac who killed forty-two women. He killed in a very original way. Ahmad buried the victim up to his throat in the ground, after which he choked with a piece of cable and drank the saliva that appeared. In 2008, he was shot.

"Red Ripper" Andrey Chikatilo

Andrei Chikatilo is recognized as the most severe maniac in the post-Soviet space. Fifty-two people have died in more than twelve years. This maniac received several nicknames - "Red Ripper", "Rostov Ripper", "Rostov Butcher". The maniac was shot in 1994.

"Doctor Death"

In 2004, a maniac named "Doctor Death" hanged himself in his cell. On account of his at least two hundred and fifty deaths. He administered lethal injections to his victims. The killer's name is Harold Frederick "Fred" Shipman.

The worst cannibal killers

Among the maniacs there are those who kill in order to then eat their victim.

Cannibal Nikolay Dzhumagaliev

One of the most famous cannibal killers is Nikolai Dzhumagaliev. This cannibal lived in Alma-Ata in 1980, where he worked as a handyman. He was charged with 47 murders, but only 10 cases were proven guilty. Dzhumagaliev himself claimed to have killed and ate about 50 prostitutes. He prepared various dishes from the meat of the killed girls and treated his friends with them. Sentenced to eight years in a closed clinic.

Indian cannibals

The cannibals from the Indian village of Nithari are a well-known local businessman and his servant named Kohli. Together they lured and ate at least thirty-eight children. After the killing, violent acts were committed over the bodies.

Japanese cannibal Issei Sagawa

Issei Sagawa is a cannibal who wrote the memoirs that made him famous. He grew up as a shy child with a developed inferiority complex. While studying at the Sorbonne, he invited a classmate to his place for a literary conversation, choosing her because she was beautiful. Issei Sagawa killed the girl by shooting her in the neck and then ate her flesh for 2 days to "absorb her energy." After the arrest, a student from Japan was imprisoned for two years. Sagawa was later transferred to a psychiatric clinic. In Japan, after Sagawa was deported there, he was found sane and released.

Issei Sagawa has become a famous restaurant critic, he writes books, often gives interviews, he is invited as a guest on many television programs. We can say that this tragedy, like most high-profile crimes, brought fame to the killer. It is surprising that fate was pleased not only to keep the cannibal alive, but also to open doors in front of him that he could never have opened earlier.

The worst female killers

When talking about killer maniacs, they usually think of men. The image of a maniac is least of all associated with the image of a woman. Forensic science knows many examples of bloody murderers - women who are not inferior in cruelty to strong men.

"Black Widow"

The most brutal female murderer of the 19th and early 20th centuries is the Black Widow. Her name is Belle Sorenson Gunness. With her help, about forty people were sent to another world. More than half of all those killed were relatives or close friends of the “widow”. The woman did not work, she subsisted on the insurance that she received after the death of her relatives. She killed her husband, children and several potential suitors. It is not known for certain about her death. The decapitated and charred body of a woman who could have been Belle Sorenson Gunness did not give a 100% guarantee that it was the "Black Widow".

Sister of Mercy Jane Toppan

Nurse Jane Toppan attacked infirm patients. It is known that her father was crazy, so Jane was brought up in an orphanage. The girl was adopted, but the adoptive parents turned out to be poor, because of which the anger of the future killer towards others only intensified. At first, nurse Toppan injected her patients with drugs, observing their condition between life and death. From this she received the strongest sexual pleasure.

Later, the woman transformed her experiments into murder. After her arrest, the police were able to prove eleven murders. While under arrest, the nurse confessed to thirty-one more murders. Examination has proven that Jane is insane. She spent the rest of her life in a psychiatric clinic.

"Bloody Countess"

That was the name of the Countess Elizabeth Bathory. The exact number of her victims is unknown, it ranges from thirty to six hundred and fifty people. According to the legends, the Countess preferred to take baths filled with the blood of young girls. The woman believed that this way could prolong her youth.

Bathory lured girls to her castle, under the pretext of a job offer, locked them in a dungeon, and then killed. Her own husband Ferenc Nadashi helped her in this. To avoid publicity and a loud trial of the Countess, her noble relatives locked Elizabeth in her own dungeon, where she died three years later.

The worst killer in human history

Throughout the history of mankind, the Indian tug Behram was recognized as the most terrible killer, who was the leader of fanatical thugs (tugs), stranglers and poisoners, who believed that every murder committed prevents the arrival of the goddess of chaos and death (Kali). Behram lived from 1765 to 1840. He killed about a thousand people. In general, members of his sect killed at least eighty thousand people. Murders were often carried out in large numbers.

In about the twentieth year of the nineteenth century, Behram was captured, but he was given life and freedom for the fact that he betrayed all his accomplices. The fearsome serial killer was hanged by his own brother in 1840.

Fortune telling by the skull

Compared to a psychopath The basic method for identifying a neurophysiological predisposition to psychopathy is to scan the brain of a person diagnosed with psychopathy and compare the data obtained with the results of brain studies of a healthy individual. The total is presented in the form of a comparative table, where the connections between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala are indicated with a yellow marker. The weakening of the signal from the prefrontal cortex results in a weak emotional response to something that would be terrifying in a normal person.

Here is such a rating of psychopaths ... Since childhood, I have been fond of criminology, now I am studying at the Faculty of Psychology, and decided to find out who, in your opinion, is really the MOST terrible sociopath and maniac. The options - Hitler, Chikatillo, Breivik, Stalin, Putin (it happens)) are swept aside. Here is still a rating of lesser known, but no less terrible criminals.

Who is a psychopath? Criteria for a psychopath. Differences between psychopath and sociopath

What is the most important criterion for psychopaths? They have absolutely no feelings. For social life, the manifestation of various emotions and feelings is important, the main ones regulating our behavior in society - fear, guilt and shame. Due to the fact that psychopaths do not feel fear of danger, do not feel shame for their actions and guilt for their actions, they commit various tricks that are unacceptable for society and worthy of condemnation, without thinking about the possible consequences. That is why there is a fairly high percentage of psychopaths among maniacs and criminals.

Lack of understanding and awareness of what is good and bad, remorse in relation to "wrong" actions, however, does not prevent psychopaths from being excellent actors in the manifestation of the necessary and "sincere" feelings in the right moments. In addition, such individuals are very cleverly able to twist the situation in their favor in such a way that others simply cannot doubt that, on the contrary, a wonderful person who acted exclusively from ethical and lofty motives, therefore, even the most indecent act will look decent. Psychopaths are very observant and never overplay their emotions, unlike hysterically organized people, their behavior does not go beyond the bounds of decent and socially acceptable.

The author of the book "Deprived of conscience: the frightening world of psychopaths" Robert Haer devoted almost his entire life (about 20-30 years) to the study of the phenomenon of psychopathy, the factors of its occurrence and methods of recognizing psychopaths. However, at the presentation of his research, a Canadian psychologist, having met a psychopath, was not immediately able to determine who was in front of him. That is why, if you think that a loved one is a psychopath, this opinion is probably erroneous, since a psychopathic personality is quite difficult to calculate, and in some cases impossible.

In psychology, there are two concepts - psychopath and sociopath. It is believed that a psychopath is a congenital pathological type of psyche, and a sociopath is a dissocial personality disorder acquired in early childhood.

Take Dexter as an example. The protagonist is a sociopath. Why? The storyline traces the events of childhood, which became a decisive factor in the development of the child's sadistic inclinations. Perhaps until the age of 2 (before the murder of his mother in front of him), Dexter was a psychopath, but this case intensified the manifestations of psychopathy. To understand the reasons for the formation of the character of the hero and his real type of psyche, it was necessary to observe him for up to two years. However, even in this case, it is difficult to draw the right conclusions - in children, empathy, shame and guilt are formed only after 2-3 years.

In any case, people who interact with such pathological characters do not care about the exact classification of pathology, especially if a person harms others.

At the moment, psychopathy does not belong to psychiatric disorders, since according to the criteria of psychosis (denial of reality, fragmented identity, disturbances in thinking and perception, hallucination, delirium, etc.), the psychopath is not differentiated into this category. Connection with reality, a clear understanding and analysis of current situations, a well-thought-out strategy of behavior are characteristic features of psychopaths, therefore they are not considered “sick” at all. Nevertheless, such individuals are dangerous to society.

There are 3 main criteria for psychopathy:

The severity of pathological personality traits, up to the violation of social adaptation. The stability of these qualities and the inability to change them. Psychopathy is not cured. The totality and severity of pathological personality traits. For example, if you ask a psychopathic killer why he did it, the answer can be terrifying - for people with this type of psyche, such behavior is considered the norm.

In reality, there are not as many psychopaths as we think. The book "Deprived of Conscience: The Frightening World of Psychopaths" provides statistics - about 2-3% of the population are believed to be psychopaths.

Killer maniacs: psychology and classification

Respectable family men and impulsive psychopaths, "missionaries" and cannibals, "local" and "itinerant" - serial killers are different, and it is better to know everything about them.

The type of maniacs favored by directors of thrillers and horror films (for example, Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs). Quiet, modest, unremarkable, law-abiding citizens, wear a "mask of normality", are relatively well adapted in society. There are both single men and family men (Andrey Chikatilo). Such a person, as a rule, makes a good impression, is charming, monitors his appearance and well-being, easily converges with people.

It is believed that members of this type do not have a psychiatric diagnosis. Here, however, it is worth making a reservation: there is also the concept of a "psychological" diagnosis. This means that a person may not have signs of pronounced psychosis (which is the reason and the basis for admission to a psychiatric hospital) - and, nevertheless, be “deeply disturbed,” that is, have profound personality disorders. Under no circumstances can a “normal” person commit crimes that maniacs commit, so any serial killer can be called “sick”, even if he does not have a psychiatric diagnosis.

The life of this type of maniacs is organized, such a person may have a fairly high intellect, often graduate from some university, may show interest in the problems of society, is interested in the media, read articles about his crimes, which he admires. During interrogation, he behaves with concentration, often has ready-made answers to the investigator's questions, is very rational and "prudent". He plans his crimes carefully to reduce the risk of being caught. He tries not to commit atrocities near the places where he lives, works or studies. There is, however, the type of neighbor maniac - a "respectable" person whom the neighbors have known for several years. Maniacs use this circumstance in order to lure their victims into a trap (for example, children, since the principle of "not talking to strangers" does not work in this case).

This type of maniacs is not distinguished by intelligence, as well as by rationality. These killers often have mental pathologies diagnosed by psychiatrists (schizophrenia, mental retardation, etc.). Unlike representatives of the first type, they make a repulsive impression, are sloppy, taciturn, not contact (especially with women), look strange, often alone or live with a relative, have a job that does not require specialization.

Life and everyday life are chaotic and disorganized. The outlook is extremely narrow, they are not interested in the media and the problems of society. They absolutely do not possess reflection, therefore they do not comprehend the crimes committed, often without even remembering some of them. They do not plan anything, they kill the "first comer", do not get rid of evidence, do not hide corpses. A classic example is the Californian serial killer Richard Keyes, nicknamed the "Sacramento vampire" because he drank the blood of his victims and ate the remains. At the age of 10, he confirmed the so-called "MacDonald triad" - a set of three behavioral characteristics: zoosadism (cruelty to animals), pyromania (passion for burning) and enuresis (manifests itself after 5 years). The Macdonald Triad is often associated with a predisposition to commit particularly serious crimes and is a direct indicator that a child is exposed to constant stress associated with parental violence.

Serial killers are also divided into “power-hungry” (tyrants) - the main motive for the crimes of such people is the assertion of their superiority over the helpless victim, the desire to compensate for the feeling of their own inferiority (Bob Burdella, David Berkowitz); "Voluptuous" - commit crimes for sexual pleasure (Jeffrey Dahmer, Andrey Chikatilo); "Visionaries" - killer psychopaths suffering from clinical delusions and hallucinations (Herbert Mullin, who killed 13 people in order to "prevent an earthquake"); "Missionaries" - consider themselves judges, are killed in order to rid society of "filth" - prostitutes, homosexuals, people of a different race, etc. (Jack the Ripper, Sergey Ryakhovsky); "Cannibals" - commit crimes with the aim of eating the body of the murdered (Alexander Spesivtsev, Nikolai Dzhumagaliev).

If we talk about the territory in which the murderers commit crimes, then one can also divide the maniacs into “local” and “wandering”, that is, those who kill in one region, and those who prefer to move from place to place.

With all this, serial killers can usually rarely be attributed to any one type, more often they manifest themselves as carriers of mixed characteristics.

ADOLESCENT PSYCHOPATHY

Almost all serial killers were extremely sadistic in childhood. However, the target of their cruelty is usually small animals, and not other children (see article "The torture of animals")... The exception to this rule was the young maniac Jess Pomeroy, one of America's worst criminals in the 19th century.

Pomeroy had a difficult childhood. He was raised in austerity by a widowed mother who struggled to make ends meet while working as a seamstress in South Boston. In addition, Jess was unlucky with his appearance: his mouth was disfigured by a hare lip, and one eye was covered with a disgusting thorn. However, contemporaries were not inclined to attribute Pomeroy's cruelty to psychological trauma. They considered him to be simply a product of the devil.

Already at the age of eleven, he began to hunt for other children. During the period winter 1871 - autumn 1872, he attacked seven boys younger than himself. Jess lured them to a secluded spot, then stripped, tied and tortured. At first, he just brutally beat the guys, and then began to cut with a penknife and prick with needles.

Arrested at the end of 1872, Pomeroy was sentenced to ten years in a penal colony, but managed to shorten this term to only one and a half years, convincingly acting out remorse. However, as soon as he was free, he again took up the old. Only from now on, the teenage psychopath no longer limited himself to torturing his victims. Now he wanted to kill.

In March 1874, he kidnapped ten-year-old Mary Curran and, after much abuse, killed her. A month later, Pomeroy took four-year-old Horace Mullen to the marshes, where he hacked him so ferociously with a penknife that the baby was almost beheaded.

When Mullen's body was found, suspicion immediately fell on Pomeroy. A bloody knife was found in the maniac's pocket, and his boots were in the swamp mud. When the police showed Pomeroy the monstrously mutilated body of the victim and asked if he had killed the baby, Pomeroy answered bluntly: "In my opinion, yes." Mary Curran's body was found only in July, her decomposed remains were in the basement of Pomeroy's house.

The trial of Pomeroy, held in 1874, became a national event. Moralists blamed his crimes on the dark "horror stories" that were popular at the time (just as modern moralists attribute the rise in crime to action movies and thrillers). However, they had to abandon this opinion when Pomeroy publicly announced that he had not read a single book in his entire life.

Despite his young age, the killer was sentenced to death, but then the execution was commuted to life imprisonment with extremely harsh conditions: the "devil boy" had to serve time in solitary confinement. It was only forty-one years later that he was finally allowed limited contact with other prisoners. He died in prison in 1932, at the age of seventy-two.

The image of the killer boy was recreated by Caleb Kappa in the best-selling Psychiatrist (1994), whose protagonist, trying to penetrate the psychology of an unknown serial killer, wants to talk to the former “devil boy” and finds him in a prison cell with his head tucked into a collar. cage. The author describes this scene as follows:

“Despite the handcuffs, chained to the collar, Jessie was holding a book in his hand and quietly reading aloud ...“ It's damn hard to get an education in this place, ”Jessie said when the door was closed behind me. - But I'm trying. Perhaps this was my mistake - the lack of education ... "Laszlo nodded to the belts:" What's that collar on you? " Jesse laughed. “A-ah-ah! They say that I burned one guy's face with a cigarette while he was sleeping ... But tell me ... - He turned to him, staring at his face with a dead thorn. - Tell me, does it look like me. "

Psychopaths: seven signs that betray a psychopath

Psychopaths see the world differently. For most people in social relationships, there are things that are taken for granted: compassion, the concept of good and evil, and much more that makes people who are adequate. Psychopaths can destroy another person without the slightest remorse, without feeling any sympathy for the victim. Not all psychopaths are maniacs, criminals, or murderers. Violent tendencies in psychopathy are possible but not required. The psychopath may have a high cultural level and certain family values. Finding a psychopath is not so difficult, especially when looking for babysitting for a child or when choosing a suitable candidate for marriage.

Causes of psychopathy

More often, psychopathy is a genetically determined mental disorder. But psychopathy can also be a symptom of a disease. Mental problems can arise when the neurons of the brain are damaged by toxic products that are either synthesized in the body or enter it from the outside.

If a child is raised in an abusive upbringing environment, they may develop psychopathic personality traits. Such children are not confident in themselves, are especially sensitive to traumatic situations, they have an underestimated self-esteem ... As a rule, such children in the future often develop psychasthenic psychopathy: they are afraid of everything, extremely insecure, prone to obsessions and love to philosophize, chewing intellectual gum with pleasure. More dangerous excitable psychopaths. They are extremely demanding of the people around them, often suffer from fits of rage, can inflict severe beatings in anger and do not even stop before killing. Especially cruel and epileptoid psychopaths.

Paranoid and hysterical psychopaths are not so dangerous for others, it is impossible to live or work with such types. People with psychopathy are conflicted, they like to demonstrate their superiority by any means, they have heightened self-esteem and it is useless to dissuade them. A paranoid husband will plague you with pathological jealousy, paranoid - colleagues will torture you with anonymous denunciations.

Schizoid psychopaths do not feel the emotional pain of another person, but they themselves are very vulnerable, while they can unceremoniously invade someone else's life, acting on some of their own motives that are obscure for a healthy person.

Mentally healthy people experience instinctive fear of psychopaths, they feel threatened. If a person has signs of psychopathy, it is better to bypass him.

The best option is not to marry a psychopathic man. But what if this has already happened? During the courtship stage, psychopaths can be very attractive and charming. A woman who married a psychopath runs the risk of domestic violence more than once. It is useless to remake psychopaths, they must be treated. We must try not to give birth to psychopaths, in the hope that with the advent of children, a person will change. No, a psychopath will remain a psychopath unless the underlying disease that caused it is treated. Psychopathy is treated at any age.
