352 Words2 Pages

Andrei Chikatilo, a vicious serial killer with the nickname of “Red Ripper”, was born in the Ukraine, USSR. Chikatilo was fixated in the Latency Stage of Freud’s psychosexual stages.

This mainly had to do with him suffering from hydrocephalus at birth which led to genital-urinary problems. He continued to wet the bed until his adulthood and could not withstand an erection. His genitals became his biggest insecurity and led to a lack of interest in the opposite sex (his sister at one point forced him to go out with girls). The events that Chikatilo experienced as a child played a big role

    Inside and beyond the myth and the social impact of the subject as One or Substance. Alan H. Goldman’s essay ‘Plain Sex’ is a central contribution to the academic debate about sex within the analytic area, which has been developing since the second half of the ‘90s in Western countries. Goldman’s purpose is encouraging debate on the concept of sex without moral, social and cultural implications or superstitious superstructures. He attempts to define “sexual desire” and “sexual activity” in its simplest terms, by discovering the common factor of all sexual events, i.e. “the desire for physical contact with another person’s body and for the pleasure which such contact produces; sexual activity is activity which tends to fulfill such desire of the agent” (Goldman, A., 1977, p 40).

Based on this model of personality development, it would appear as if Jeffrey Dahmer was led by his Id impulses, in spite of his Superego’s attempts to restrain him. Jung would likely agree with Dahmer’s father that Jeffrey was, in fact, introverted throughout most of his life and Freud would want to explore just what happened to Jeffrey in his early childhood that was so incredibly traumatic. Freud would probably conclude that it was Jeffrey’s childhood hernia operation that was at the root of Dahmer’s pathological development.
