Answer: A case of psychopathy is ruled.

Explanation: According to Hugo Marietan, PHD (2008), it is an atypical way of being, a structure of personality that does not have pathology character.

The fundamental features of psychopathy are two: the presence of special needs, or different from the common of people, which configure a different type of think and feel, and how to relate with others that derives in this way qualitatively different from thought and affectivity: others are not considered as people but as an utilitarian element things. This is what Marietan calls reification.
