| The Official Diagnosis Psychopathy has been assessed for decades using a diagnostic tool called the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), a clinical-rating scale devised by psychologist Robert D. Hare of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. PCL-R scores range from 0 to 40. Most people in the general population score no more than 5 on this test, but an estimated 1 percent score at least 30, the threshold for psychopathy. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Interesting that when Dexter kills, he uses a blitz attack and a incapacitating sedative on his victims. As a skilled martial artist, both the blitz attack and sedative are not necessary for him to kill. Only when his victim is bound, drugged, and therefore helpless will he kill. His complete control over his victim and the victim's complete powerlessness are part of his ritual. Despite his outward display of confidence, he needs his victims to be as helpless as he felt when his mother was murdered in order for him to kill. The mask that he is forced to wear in an attempt to feel normal makes him feel powerless and so long as Dexter feels powerless, he will continue to kill others in an attempt to regain his feeling of control over the world.

OK, maybe someone has already covered this, but does Dexter wear the same outfit when he kills? He always seems to have the same tight sand colored shirt and chinos on.
Also, what did he have on over that, but under the apron when he killed Jimenez? |

dexter éprouve des choses quand il réalise que Harry lui a peut-être menti au sujet du code. Il éprouve également de la colère lorsqu'il subit le chantage de sa marraine. Ce sont des moments intimes dont il parle et le fait d'éprouver ces émotions contradictoires vis-à vis de harry ou de son frère biologique lui permet de passer outre et finalement de s'affranchir de cette relation infantile qu'il entretenait avec le code... Good luck to translate this but it was to hard for me to explain that in a good american language... Dexter Moser

There is something wrong with the picture in this block. The "Blood Splatter Pattern" is all wrong. When I first looked at it, my eyes played tricks on me... It looked like a bloody grasshopper... What would Dexter say about the blood splatter?

"Rituals" is an inappropriate and incorrect term. His use of black plastic bags to dispose of his victims, and covering the murder scene with tarp would be considered "method of operation." His collecting their blood for his collection would be considered a "signature."
The differences being, of course, the "MO" being what he does in order to commit the crime and attempt to evade capture, while the "signature" being what he does to get fulfillment out of the crime. Other than being very basic, this is a good site. There's much more ... depth ... to the average psychopath than this site enumerates. :) |
