NECROPHILIA AND AUTISTIC PSYCHOPATHY

摘要

This paper puts forward the proposal that a better way of understanding the psychopathology of persons engaging with necrophilia is to consider Hans Asperger 's (1938, 1944) autistic psychopathy renamed by Lorna Wing (1981) as Asperger 's syndrome, an Autism Spectrum Disorder. In this paper the author is recommending that Hans Asperger's autistic psychopathy be retained for persons with autism who engage in serious criminal activity.
