Diagnosed
  • "Psychiatrists found Gein had arrested
    development and perceived people as objects. He
    was diagnosed as conflicted consciously he loved
    his mother and hated women unconsciously he
    hated her and loved others. By destroying her, he
    was killing the cause of his frustration. By
    dissecting women who reminded him of her, he
    could always keep her with him. Psychiatrists
    diagnosed Gein as schizophrenic, clinically
    insane, and mentally unfit for trial. "
