Also, as with epilepsy, the cerebral dysfunction is episodic. Although Money (1990) considers neurological factors to be the primary cause of sadistic sexual murder, he points out that endocrinological and genetic factors are also at play. Thus, sadistic murderers may have testosterone deficits that result in diminished virility, which in turn causes compensatory hypermasculine behaviours such as sexual murder. This type of criminal may also possess a genetic predisposition towards emotional instability (for example, rage or sexual arousal) and impulsive behaviour.
This conclusion is based on Stoller’s (1978) theory, which argues that boys who are unsuccessful in differentiating themselves from their mothers develop not only an ambiguous masculine identity but also sexual perversions that allow them to indirectly express their rage against their dominating and controlling mothers. Finally, Liebert’s (1985) psychodynamic model is based on the theories of Klein (1948) and Kernerg (1975). According to this model, maternal hostility during a child’s early psychological development favours splitting, an archaic defence mechanism, which enables the child to cope with its paranoid anguish.
