承前*1
Jimmy Savileの生涯をかけてのレイプ三昧について、「誰もがこの男の心理学的背景に興味を持つのでは？」と書いた。臨床心理学者の意見を聞いてみることにする。
Oliver James*2 “Inside the mind of Jimmy Savile” http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jun/26/inside-the-mind-of-jimmy-savile
James氏によれば、Jimmy Savileの暴力は”projection”（投射）に基づくものであり、自分と同じ精神状態を他者に味あわせることを目的としているという；
彼は独身であり、ステディな恋愛関係を有することもなかった。さらに、Savileが射精した瞬間にそのターゲットへの関心を失していたという犠牲者の証言から、James氏はSavilleの人格の多重性、高度の解離*4を疑っている；
(…) Many of the assaults were without warning. He would suddenly place his hand somewhere he should not, plant his mouth on unsuspecting lips. Frequently this was done in public places. The root of such intrusion is projection*3.It is a mechanism we all may use when we have an uncomfortable feeling to get rid of. We sometimes employ each other as emotional dustbins: you are feeling depressed or angry and without thinking about it, you do something to make someone else feel those things. To understand what Savile was feeling when he groped in public, hear how his victims felt – humiliated, powerless, frightened, finally angry. Those will have been the emotions he lived with and, more or less, urgently needed to extrude.
また、「ダーク・トライアド」*5の話；
On the occasions when he achieved orgasm through penetration, or by compelling his victims to fellate him, they report him as having immediately lost interest once he had ejaculated. They might as well have been inanimate objects. This would be consistent with Savile having had a high degree of dissociation – feeling at one remove from events, a detachment. In accord with that, he must have had several different selves, enabling him to flit between roles, from charity worker to famous DJ to abuser, and quickly back to non-abuser.
解離の原因として、母親との関係が注目される；
He had what is known as the dark triad of personality characteristics: psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism. These are common in famous or powerful people, and part of that mix is a strong likelihood of sexual promiscuity. Such people often are able to slide effortlessly between personas. They are usually impulsive stimulus seekers, easily attracted to substance abuse, risky sex and gambling. Savile must have had a fantastical inner life – grandiose, wild and desperate. While his main predilection was for girls and young women, he sometimes ranged from five to 75-year-olds of both sexes and, it seems, may have engaged in necrophilia*6.He created safe environments in which he could act at will. His experiments beyond young females may have been because the buzz from them had worn off through repetition and he sought more extreme kicks. Given that inflicting distress was his primary goal, the gender and age of a victim might not matter.
ところで、Jimmy Savileというのは日本人には、というか英国人以外にはあまりぴんとこないのだが、死の直後のBBCの報道を読めば少しはイメージが具体化するだろうか。
We do not know whether Savile was abused as a child. The only clear fact is that he had a very intense enmeshment with his mother, seeing all other women as mere vehicles for his distress, marriage unthinkable. We also know he had a semi-psychotic relationship with his mother after she died, perhaps believing that he could communicate with her.
For more than six decades, Sir Jimmy, who has died at the age of 84, was one of Britain's most established showbusiness figures and a leading charity worker.The country's first pop disc jockey, Sir Jimmy was also a seasoned television presenter, marathon runner, Mensa member, wrestler and fundraiser.
With his trademark tracksuit and chunky jewellery, he pre-dated hip-hop fashion by about 40 years.
