The processes that characterize the constitution of subjectivity of serial killers have a relationship with the role played by the archaic super-ego. When we analyze the interfaces of these types of psychic configurations with social bonds we see serial killers treated as icons of the post-modern culture, to the extent that they are idealized in the cinema, books and television series. They are also idolized by many for their ability to mesmerize, deceive and defraud others. These characteristics leads persons to support and approve perverse social bonds present in contemporary society.
