it may be the other way around, the psychopath is evaluated by
psychologists and deemed sane according to certain criteria. The
psychopath, in contrast to the psychotic, has sufficient "reality
contact" to be deemed sane, therefore, morally and legally accountable
for his or her actions. If I'm not mistaken, that's one of the
defining characteristics of psychopathy - sufficient reality contact
to be able to adequately discriminate between right and wrong. Thus, Ted
Bundy and Ed Gein are two completely different type of killers. - AH
