The
description and dynamics of the lust killer or sexual sadistic killer are the same as those of the larger group of serial killers.
In a study of serial killers by 71 of 77 male subjects met
the criteria for SPD (sadistic personality disorder)
(32). The classification of the FBI subdivides the serial lust killer into the disorganized asocial murderer and the organized
non-social murderer. The disorganized asocial
murderer frequently suffers from a serious mental
disorder, is usually of below average intelligence,
is socially inadequate, is an unskilled worker, is
sexually incompetent, has a low birth order status, and was harshly disciplined as a child by a father who was an
unstable provider. He claims to be rather anxious
during the perpetration of his crimes, uses small amounts of alcohol, and reacts strongly to even minimal
environmental stress. He usually lives alone and
lives and works near the crime scene. He has little interest in the news media, and his behavior is often
erratic. The organized nonsocial, lust
murderer, on the other hand, is of average to
above-average intelligence, is socially competent, is often a skilled worker, is sexually competent, and usually displays a personality
disorder. He has a high birth order status. His
father held a stable job, and his childhood discipline was inconsistent. He is usually well controlled during
the offense, even though he uses moderate amounts of
alcohol before or during the crime.
[1]Typical
of the organized, nonsocial lust murderer, Jeffrey Dahmer made local, national, and international news at the time of
his apprehension in 1991 following the discovery of his
crimes. Dahmer, a white man, was 31 years old when
examined by the author to ascertain his mental status and his criminal responsibility at the time of his killings. He was tall,
well developed, and well nourished. He had a light
complexion, his hair was brownish-blond, and his
face was unshaven. His posture was erect and his ambulation normal; on observation, there was no evidence of neurological
deficits, unusual facial mimicry, tics, or mannerisms.
He sat up straight in his chair, a bit tense only
during the first part of the many hours of interviews, and his attitude was one of cooperativeness and friendliness. Calm and
free from any obvious emotional lability, his speech
was clear and understandable. His answers and statements
were coherent, relevant, and logical. He spoke without any circumstantiality or tangentiality, and his thinking did not show any
disorganization or delusional or hallucinatory
ideas. He generally provided direct and full answers
to questions posed to him, and he appeared to have a high level of intelligence. He showed reflective capacity and
unimpaired and rational thinking. He assumed complete
responsibility for all of the murders with which he
was charged. He was emotionally tranquil and at ease as he recounted the many memories pertinent to his offenses. He gave the
impression of being happy to be able finally
to unburden his conscience of his horrendous crimes. He described himself as surrounded by arguing parents at home and “arrogant jerks” in school. He claimed that
during adolescence he was prone to violent fits of
anger and occasional rage and said that his deceitful behavior at home was frequently reprimanded. He became
angry when he was found to be lying but
eventually would admit his wrongdoing.
A
possible explanation for Dahmer’s abhorrent conduct is that he was driven by compulsive hostile aggressivity. His violence
was so profound that he killed, cut, dismembered,
and dissected in an obsessive, sadistic way, the body
that attracted and repelled him at the same time—a body that he wanted to torture and destroy because he felt that by doing so
he would be able to get rid of his inner, torturing
homosexual drives and unwanted attraction to men—a
body he really did not love, contrary to what he wanted to believe or wanted others to believe.
His
actions may have, in some way, saved him from committing
suicide. Even his sadism was the exercising of power and violence upon another for the assertion and preservation of Self.
He joined a long list of sexual murderers. He shared
with them not only a deeply violent, destructive hostility
but also boredom, loneliness, sadism, and narcissism.
