We are all attracted. But not all of them are considered healthy and acceptable. And some individuals even go to extremes and cross all borders.
In principle, no matter what a person is busy with, it does not bother anyone until his “hobbies” touch something from a number of sacred or frightening ones. And what is each person afraid of? Judging by the opinion of the founder of psychoanalysis - death.
Today we will talk about necrophilia and its many manifestations.
What are necrophiles? Society is responsible
Almost any word from medical terminology that has the ending "-philia" is met by society with a strong wave of indignation and is considered almost the most serious insult. Moreover, the motive in most cases remains unknown: either it is a herd instinct, or a banal unwillingness to see psychologically unhealthy people next to it, or simply the established tradition of hating people with disabilities.
One way or another, but necrophilia, according to the public, stands next to such severe deviations as drug addiction, homosexuality, pedophilia. And in some cases, necrophiles are even put on a par with the famous serial killers. At its core, such a person is a pervert, whom you certainly need to get rid of by any means available.
What are necrophiles? Psychopathologists answer
Who can best characterize such a deviation as non-representatives of specialties related to psychology? Psychopathologists and psychoanalysts are inclined to believe that this pathology was born from simple human doubts associated with the very process of being. Often, such reflections lead mentally weak people to the path of destruction, which forces them to seek solace in death in all its manifestations.
Sometimes necrophilia is considered by psychologists not only as love for the dead, but also in general to inanimate objects. But such an interpretation has not yet become widespread, therefore, it will not be considered here.
The treatment of this disease is complex. Both medical and hypnotic methods are used. All this has been going on for quite some time. As a rule, cured patients cannot "fit" into a normal healthy society and continue to live as hermits.
What are necrophiles? Legislators are responsible
For lawmakers, necrophilia is not so much a psychological disorder as a manifestation of vandalism. But this is only if there is a fact of illegal opening of graves, for which a lover of the dead can be imprisoned for a certain period of time. If this fact did not exist, then the person is simply sent for compulsory treatment to a psychiatric institution.
Sometimes, if the society is very indignant ("the case of necrophilia doctors"), criminal punishment can overtake those who did not go down to the graves. In such cases, the gravity of the crime, as well as the punishment, is determined by a jury.
What are necrophiles? Answers that not everyone likes
Necrophilia is not always manifested in its "classic" form - sexual contact with dead people. Want to know what signs indicate that certain individuals are necrophilia? Photos posted on social networks will put all the dots above the "i". If the photographs contain "dead" symbolism (skulls, bones, gravestones) - the answer is yes. And if a person enjoys watching news bulletins, photographs of unidentified corpses, bloody films? The answer here will be positive.
