Within the depth-psychology corpus, ‘psychopath’ occupies a genuinely contested conceptual space, resisting reduction to any single clinical or diagnostic framework. Jung established an early, and notably permissive, boundary: the overwhelming majority of psychopaths function within the population deemed ‘normal,’ so that the category interrogates normalcy itself rather than demarcating a sealed pathological class. Hillman, the most sustained voice on the subject across multiple works, approaches psychopathy through the lens of the daimon, the acorn theory, and archetypal evil — arguing that conventional etiological explanations (bad parenting, hereditary taint, neurochemical deficit) systematically miss the demonic dimension of the Bad Seed. Guggenbuhl-Craig’s concept of the ‘emptied soul’ — the absence of eros rather than the presence of shadow — provides a complementary archetypal anatomy. Hillman’s underworld typology, developed in The Dream and the Underworld, frames psychopathic dream figures as permanent inhabitants of an amoral underworld, immune to dayworld ethical transformation. López-Pedraza locates psychopathy at the borderline between symbolic number and raw image-horror, suggesting a structural relationship with perversion and the uncanny. Sardello extends the category culturally, diagnosing electronic technology as the generator of a collective psychopathic soul. Across these positions, the psychopath functions less as a diagnostic object than as a depth-psychological limit-concept: the place where soul, shadow, daimon, and evil converge.
