What do Saddam Hussein and Aileen Wournos have in common? Behind the twisted psychology of serial killers and dictators, by SMTaylorauthor
fathers. Hitler’s mother was deeply traumatized by the loss of three previous children, and unable to form an emotional bond with him. The Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s father and older brother both had died shortly before his birth, leaving his mother so traumatized that she rejected Saddam, who was taken in by his uncle. As the only child of a single mother, he was constantly bullied and beaten and learned to be violent in self-defense.
This pattern of childhood trauma is especially relevant in view of the lack of any clear genetic or neurological basis for psychopathy and related conditions. For example, a recent review of the genetic correlates of psychopathy found no clear link with any specific genetic or biological factors. As the authors concluded, ‘heritability estimates for the facets of clinical psychopathy were low. Molecular genetic findings were inconsistent and mostly unreplicated.
In my view, if a person receives little empathy and affection during their early years, it may impair their ability to experience empathy and expressclosing in on themselves, unconsciously disconnecting themselves from other people and from the world. They don’t allow themselves to form emotional bonds with others, as this could be a source of further pain and trauma. They also become disconnected from, by repressing their feelings and their memories of traumatic experiences. They build a kind of armor to protect themselves from emotional pain and from other people.
