Tanken är ju god men räcker inte riktigt. Eller om vi hade varit lite mer respektfulla mot Breivik hade han inte skrivit sitt högerextremistiska manifest och skjutit 77 personer till döds?
Jag är fullständigt övertygad om att många terrorister likt Breivik hade kunnat stoppas om de hade levt i ett varmare samhälsklimat.
NEW REVELATIONS ABOUT BREIVIK'S CHILDHOOD: Breivik was 'already damaged by the age of two'
In 1983 and 1984, some of Norway's top specialist child psychologists wanted to forcibly remove Anders Behring Breivik from his mother's care.
[...]
The SSBU found the mother to be a borderline case. This diagnosis implies the subject is in a state between neurotic and psychotic.
"Projects sexual fantasies"
The mother's ambivalent behaviour toward Anders would shift from one minute to the next. "From being kind and affectionate, she could instantaneously shout loudly and aggressively at him from one moment to the next", one report observed.
He was brutally rejected. She openly stated, in front of other people, that she wished her son was dead. She clung to Anders, whilst simultaneously rejecting him.
"How is a four year old child supposed to process that? He must be so confused. She both ties him to herself whilst pushing him away", one staffer told police.
A 1983 report states;
"Anders is a victim of his mother's projections of paranoid-aggressive and sexual fears toward men in general", and "she projects onto him her own primitive, aggressive and sexual fantasies; all the qualities in men that she regards as dangerous and aggressive."
"Wipes meticulously"
The documentation compiled in the 1980s notes the mother's many ideas and fantasies concerning men and boys; that they were dangerous, and impossible to relate to.

Abstract
Objective
There exist significant gaps in our understanding and knowledge of the contributory factors which give rise to the development of a mass shooter.
Method
A case analysis is presented of Anders Behring Breivik who engaged in a bombing and shooting spree in Norway on July 22, 2011.
Results
The case analysis presents that he has diagnoses of Asperger's Syndrome, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Traits/Disorder. Additionally, a forensic profile is presented that a narcissistic decompensation contributed to him developing a depression, followed by a rewrite of his life story where he is a hero defending Europe against a conspiracy. However his personal and political grievances and violent ideation placed him onto the Path to Intended/Terroristic Violence, which culminated in the attacks in Norway.
Conclusions
The present study suggests that there may be an association between NPD and violence, similar to other studies. However, the factor of narcissistic decompensation (possibly co-occurring with an Asperger's coping strategy) was presented as a critical component of NPD that mediated its relationship with violence. Furthermore, aspects from his Asperger?s Syndrome and Narcissistic Decompensation contributed to his personal and political grievances and the other steps on the Path towards Intended/Terroristic Violence.

For many years, the conventional wisdom was that most acts of aggression and violence stem from insecurities and low self-esteem. The possibility that some mass shooters have low self-esteem, low self-worth, or painful personal insecurities should not lead us to overlook another more likely possibility: that a significant number of mass shooters may have large egos and narcissistic tendencies. This article will (a) describe the psychological concepts of narcissism and narcissistic traits; (b) review previous research on links between narcissism, aggression, and violence; (c) review evidence that some mass shooters exhibit narcissistic traits; and (d) discuss the implications of narcissistic mass shooters for society and the media coverage of their shooting rampages.

However, it actually seems like mass shooters may be significantly more likely to have narcissistic traits than many other violent criminals. For example, in general, most homicides are not premeditated-they are typically crimes of passion, in which an argument turns nasty and someone loses control of their temper-or crimes of escala-tion, in which someone involved in a robbery or burglary loses control of the situation and ends up killing someone in the heat of the moment (Lankford, 2016). In many of these cases, poor self-control, alcoholic intoxication, drug use, or desires for money or stolen goods seem to play an important causal role-factors that do not seem directly connected to narcissism. By contrast, mass killers typically commit premeditated acts of mass murder after they have "externalized blame" and failed to take responsibility for what has gone wrong in their lives (Fox & Levin, 1998). Importantly, their crimes are often preceded by major ego threats that would be particularly infuriating for narcis-sists. One of the catalysts for mass murder is often the offender?s "humiliating loss of face," such as being fired or laid off from work, suspended or expelled from school, rejected by a significant other or spouse, or struggling with some other crisis (Levin & Madfis, 2009, p. 1295). As reviewed earlier, narcissists tend to be hypersensitive to criticism and likely to respond to ego threats with aggression and violence. This seems like a fitting description of exactly what many mass shooters do.
Narcissistic Mass Shooters: Implications for Society and

The risk is that there appears to be a direct link between the attention-seeking desires of many narcissists and the attention-granting rewards offered by media coverage of their behavior. Narcissists deeply crave attention and admiration from others, and some of the items on the NPI (Raskin & Terry, 1988) specifically assess this tendency, which is often called exhibitionism, with items such as "I like to start new fads and fashion" and "I really like to be the center of attention." Although narcissists may have the desire to seek many types of attention, the temptation of widespread fame is likely to attract them the most.
Unfortunately, the media provide a stage for narcissistic individuals to become "stars" through extreme acts of violence, such as mass shootings. In an interview following the Newtown school shooting, Harvard Professor Steven Pinker said, "[If] you want to do something that guarantees that your name will be on the lips of everyone in the country, what are your options? There?s only one, and that is kill a lot of innocent people" (NOVA, 2012). As another scholar noted, "mass shootings also generate incredible media attention. Perhaps some perpetrators are not as preoccupied with killing as with fame, with murder serving as the vehicle of their own elevation to what seems to them like celebrity status" (Langman, 2016, p. 1).
