“Finally, psychiatrists from the St. Luc Medical Centre who had examined Gacy concluded: "Over the last 15 years, Gacy has shown a mixed personality disorder that included obsessive-compulsive, antisocial, narcissistic, and manic characteristics… His homosexual conquests, towards which he was shown to be sadistic, were more gratification for himself through the exercise of power, rather than erotic experiences motivated by sexual need.”

“Hartman theorized that although Gacy was affected by a personality disorder, he was absolutely not demented.  “He is very egocentric and narcissistic, and had a typically antisocial orientation.  He has a psychopathic personality, with sexual deviance and hysterical personality, as well as minor aspects of a compulsive and paranoid personality.”

From the very beginning, he always found a 'good reason' to kill his victims; Gacy buried the young boy’s body under the house.”

He had a high degree of social intelligence where, for him, the best way to act was that in which he could influence people.”

“Although his mother adored him and was affectionate, his father was a violent, alcoholic authority figure. Gacy Sr. was a perfectionist who beat his wife and humiliated his children. He sometimes beat 'Junior', but spent most of his time insulting him, calling him an 'idiot' and a 'moron' when he wasn’t able to complete a task, and 'faggot', 'mama’s boy' or 'gay' when his mother defended him.”

“At 11, while was playing beside some swings, Gacy was pushed by another child, who struck Gacy in the head, causing a blood clot in his brain.  The clot wasn’t discovered until 5 years later, when Gacy’s parents tried to identify the cause of his frequent fainting spells.”
