The authors investigated the relationship between cinema and psychopathy to describe and analyze the portrayal of fictional psychopathic characters in popular films and over cinematic history. From 400 films (1915-2010), 126 fictional psychopathic characters (21 female and 105 male) were selected based on the realism and clinical accuracy of their profiles. Movies were then analyzed by senior forensic psychiatrists and cinema critics. Secondary (71%) and manipulative (48%) subtypes were the most common in the female group, while secondary (51%) and prototypical (34%) were the most common in the male group. Corresponding to the increased understanding of clinical psychopathy by professional mental health providers over time, the clinical description of and epidemiological data on fictional psychopaths in popular films have become more realistic. Realistic fictional psychopaths remain in the minority but are very important for didactic purposes in Academic facilities, as "teaching Movies."
作者们研究了电影与精神变态之间的关系，以描述和分析流行电影以及整个电影史上虚构精神变态角色的刻画。从400部电影（1915年至2010年）中，根据角色简介的真实性和临床准确性，挑选出了126个虚构的精神变态角色（21名女性和105名男性）。随后，资深法医精神病学家和电影评论家对这些电影进行了分析。在女性群体中，次要型（71%）和操纵型（48%）亚型最为常见，而在男性群体中，次要型（51%）和典型型（34%）最为常见。随着专业心理健康服务提供者对临床精神变态的理解不断加深，流行电影中虚构精神变态者的临床描述和流行病学数据也变得更加现实。现实的虚构精神变态者仍然占少数，但作为“教学影片”，对于学术机构的教学目的而言非常重要。
