Rick shook his head. "I can't understand it. Why would Miller do such a thing?" "Obviously, he isn't a normal human being, in our sense of the word." "You mean he's insane?" Scotty asked. "No. Not insane. He's what some people call a psychopath. He is not morally responsible. In other words, he can't distinguish right from wrong, as most people understand the terms."
"If we show Feldman is responsible and that Medical is eliminating the source of the infection, it may have a stabilizing effect." "Let's hope so. The sentence will have to be death, of course. We can't let such a rebellious psychopath live. But this needs something more, it seems. You've prepared a recommendation, I suppose." "There was the case of Albrecht Delier," Blane suggested.
The psychopath is an unhappy person. He is besieged by recurrent depression bouts, hypochondria and an overpowering sense of alienation and drift. He is bored with his own life and is permeated by a seething and explosive envy of the lucky, the mighty, the clever, the have it alls, the know it alls, the handsome, the happy in short: his opposites.
I had just been talking to one of the doctors about him, when I came out and saw you with him. He was shot in the neck at Cantigny, where he lost his arm. The wound healed, but his memory is affected; some nerve cut, I suppose, that connects with that part of his brain.

"What happened?" demanded Holden. "Our little psychopath," said Cochrane in a grating voice, "put on an act. He threatened me with a rifle. He hit Alicia first. Jamison, trace that bullet-hole.
Why doesn't someone come, teach us non-believers, who thirst for God." Kohn was quiet, full of expectation. Mechenmal had secretly been amused during the lecture. Now he broke out. Then he said: "Don't take this wrong, little Kohn. But you certainly have funny ideas. This is really crazy." Kohn said: "You have no feeling. You are a superficial being. It is also certain that you are a psychopath."

Holden resisted for the fraction of a second, and Cochrane gripped his arm tighter. He got him up to the deck above.

And in my small way I'm a psychopath too, Bill. My psychosis is that I don't like his kind of psychosis.
Medical works are filled with such instances. And it is only to be expected that when the psychopath is of a deeply religious nature the affection will find a religious expression.
