  Iconoclast -- Psycho
Perhaps fortunately, psychos are among the least populous of the non-human genotypes, with around 2 to 3,000 of them alive today, many residing permanently in asylums or prisons.
If the effect is desired within the psycho's own body, the normal path is chosen, and the psycho can affect him or herself in even dramatic ways, everything from temporarily ignoring incoming trauma, to stopping and starting the beating of their own hearts.

  Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho: A Look at its Impact on the FIlm Industry   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Psycho, produced by Universal Studios and released through Paramount (Rebello 51), contained a frank depiction of sex and violence "unlike any mainstream film that had preceded it" (Williams 1); the film included the first love scene in American popular cinema ever to feature a pair of lovers lying half-naked on a bed (Rebello 86).

 Cutting the Flow: Thinking Psycho
What Psycho demonstrates for my purposes, however, is neither the normalisation of desire (as according to psychoanalytic theory) nor the normality of representation (as according to cognitive theory), but the positive and specific power of indeterminacy which moving images can generate in our lives by violating the privacy of perception.
Where the fiction of Psycho explores the themes of voyeurism and privacy from being seen, Hitchcock's explicit reflections on his own role as director address the quite different question of the privacy of seeing.
The crucial thing about Psycho's fleeting cinematic reference to the space of theatre, it seems to me, is that no sooner is the arch framed by Hitchcock's camera, than we immediately find ourselves moving through it.
