Fascism: Past, Present, Future
ome of Sigmund Freud’s most interesting cases involved people who did bad or destructive
things and then shifted the blame onto others. Such cases are now standard in psychological
literature. Psychologists today are quite familiar with patients who display selfish or vicious
behavior and then attribute those qualities to their psychologist. It is also quite common in the course
of therapy for patients with a morbid hostility toward a parent or sibling to become morbidly hostile
toward the therapist. Following a term coined by Freud, psychologists call this phenomenon
“transference.”
Transference, in its wrongful assignment of blame and responsibility, is obviously a form of lying.
A special case of transference involves “blaming the victim.” In the relevant psychological literature,
the perpetrator of some terrible action blames it not on himself but, incredibly, on the victim of the
offense. Serial killers who target prostitutes, for example, might come to believe that the prostitutes
deserve to be raped and murdered. “That woman was a whore. She had it coming.” This enables the
killer to consider himself a vengeful angel, an instrument of justice.
A good example of blaming the victim was the serial killer Ted Bundy. Earlier in life Bundy had
been rejected by a woman who was a brunette. He developed an intense hatred toward her because
she made him feel inferior and worthless. So he targeted young brunettes on college campuses to
abduct and murder, in effect displacing his hate onto them and holding them responsible for what the
other woman once did to him. In Bundy’s mind, he had been unjustly rejected and victimized, and by a
perverted process of displacement he held the women he killed responsible for this.

This applies to transference in the general sense of the term: the qualities of the patient are shifted to
the therapist. But when a perpetrator blames the victim, he does more than blame an innocent party.
He blames the very party that is being directly harmed by his actions. Blaming the victim involves the
