This paper takes the example of the notorious and fairly recent serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, and approaches the
case from a number of different psychological and psychoanalytical
perspectives. Sigmund Freud, through disciples like Donald Winnicott and P. Wachtel, and W.R.D. Fairbairn are among the
sources used to look at and analyze the Dahmer case, along with H. Kohut, who might also be considered a Freudian with basic theoretical modifications. The report first establishes the basics of the Dahmer case and then analyzes these through the perspectives of the four abovementioned sources.
