"These people are not all geniuses, and they are not inherently particularly effective at anything other than being ruthless. Their high levels of stress tolerance, or inability to feel their stress and process it, let them fool lie detectors, as well as most of us. To them, lying is such a small occurrence that it wouldn’t necessarily cause a real spike in their heart rate or pulse
"During the week many people avoid confronting their real stress by feeding a “party-hard” fantasy. Unfortunately, when they finally act to fulfill it, the experience is disappointing compared to the fantasy they’d been entertaining, which leaves them yearning, and determined, to do it again but this time to get it “right.” Serial crimes almost always follow a similar pattern: a never ending attempt to achieve an increasingly unreachable fantasy. The biggest difference is that while normal people are able to empathize with and recognize others as real, the psychopath is “stunted” in this respect and has a limited capacity to recognize the feelings of others as being real.
"The part of the problem of the serial killer is what Robert D. Keppel describes as a “clinical anger“: they hold onto anger, frequently, and even if they hide it well, it interferes with their normal life and potentially their health. At the root, their anger likely stems from dysfunctional attachment taking the form of “avoidant attachment,” and a lack of meaningful or positive relationships. This gives us the hint that not every serial killer is a neurobiological psychopath.
Both neurobiological psychopaths and those “turned” through dysfunctional attachment don’t cry as infants when the caregiver leaves ,and also don’t want to play with the person giving the experiment: they don’t look for “proximity, interaction, or contact by reunion” when the caregiver returns. Much in the same way circumcision may lower a male’s sensitivity to pain, early and frequent experiences of abandonment or emotional neglect, feelings of being an “outsider” in the own family, makes them prone to not voicing or perceiving their emotions since they are used to no one caring anyways.
One theory states that psychopathy develops as a survival mechanism to regularly experiencing such situations, do not really develop internal emotional intelligence. They do not consciously notice how stressed they are: they create a diphasic personality to cope with it. This does not mean they have multiple personalities, it means they create a fantasy world for themselves , and mirror something else for everyone on the outside. With serial killers, this fantasy world is just far darker than with other subgroups to whom that description applies. These people “didn’t mature, because choosing to live in his fantasy world allowed him to say a child with no respect or consequences” (Keppel, p.325).
Even if I put my JB guilty hat on I don't see any parallels between the cases ie motive and/or personalities involved, background etc.
One can pick up any newspaper any day and read some ghastly story about someone inflicting harm on another. The question is why?
It's all there Holly -
Jeremy Bamber was/is ruthless.
He passed a lie detector test because lying causes him little or no stress
His actions following the murders are self explanatory - he sought out his fantasy world
"At the root, their anger likely stems from dysfunctional attachment taking the form of “avoidant attachment,” and a lack of meaningful or positive relationships.
Bambers history shows he had attachment issues
When and where did he EVER display any anger towards losing his family?
The diphasic personality
