Vampires are very popular characters in the books, movies, tv shows and ect. But do they affect the mental disorder known as clinical vampirism. Psychoanalysis consider the reason for this illness to be in early childhood. But can the popular culture help the proces of emerging of the disorder

Yes there is clinical vampirism you can meet it also as a renfield's syndrome. It is rare, but it still exists. You can meet some cases in the criminal records among the serial killers. It is not listed in the DSM4 as a separate disorder, but maybe it will be in DSM5
