Inside the Mind of Jeffrey Dahmer: The Cannibal Killer

Product Information

Forensic psychologist Kenneth Smail interviewed Dahmer at the request of his defense team, who were at the time seeking a plea of insanity. During Smail’s 30-year career, he’d never seen a case like Dahmer’s before or since. “He took his fantasy world to a degree and in places most of us would never even conceive of,” Smail says. Dennis Murphy Jeffrey Dahmer's mother Joyce sounds like she is a controlling narcissist, that has Daddy issues, due to her constant need for reassurance, approval, acceptance, being reassured that she is loved, wanted, needed. They would have known that Konerak was only 14 years old and saw the decomposing corpse of one of his victims laying on the floor of his bedroom! They didn't want to get involved due to Jeffrey Dahmer being gay though which is ridiculous, stupid, insulting to his victims, and absolutely disgusting. Not all of his victims were gay, but some of his victims were underage. He became a alcoholic at 14 years old he was already feeling severe depression and anxiety as a teenager, when he was 15-16 years old and becoming fascinated/obsessed with death, dissecting roadkill/animals, doing experiments on animals/dissecting them.

Inside the Mind of Jeffrey Dahmer by Christopher Berry-Dee

the sheer number of times he uses the words "layer-cake" and "metamorphose" is frankly quite annoying The fact that his father had the intention to start fires, hurt people that hurt/bullied him says a lot about inherited genes, behaviour, nature versus nurture. The results were surprising. Researchers found that criminal brains had reduced grey matter with decreased activity in the brain’s orbitofrontal cortex and anterior temporal lobes — the areas which control emotional processing and social cognition. Basically, the brain areas that regulate emotions and empathy toward others were damaged or weakened.

They didn't want to get involved due to Jeffrey Dahmer being gay though which is ridiculous, stupid, insulting to his victims, and absolutely disgusting. They had no idea of the extent of his depravity, of what he was really capable of, the fact that he acted so normal and ordinary is very disturbing. One of the many reasons I enjoyed this book was the Hannibal lector quotes; "bowels in or bowels out?" and "I must confess to you, I am giving very serious thought to eating your wife inspector pazzi." I love Hannibal and have a tattoo based on the silence of the lambs 😊 Overwhelming loneliness/being a misunderstood loner were the main aspects that lead him to commit the horrific crimes he committed.

He could have been successful, happy but instead he was a self-destructive, self-saboteur, he would rather just accept failure & not wanted to be disappointed due to hating disappointment. It was my way of remembering their appearance, their physical beauty. I always wanted to keep...if I couldn't keep them with me whole, I at least could keep their skeletons." - Dahmer, The Journal Times, 8 February 1993 She felt lonely, abandoned, ignored, neglected while she was growing up which lead to her becoming needy and always seeking reassurance, which some people would describe as being attention-seeking type of behaviour. Perhaps the title is not the best. I don't think we really got into the mind of Jeffrey Dahmer here, but the author did talk about his childhood, his upbringing, his parents’ relationship, his time in the military and those he killed.

To the owner of this blog. I am fascinated by the brain. My father is both a psychiatrist and a neurologist and his work always fascinated me.

Inside The Mind of Jeffrey Dahmer book review: a disturbing Inside The Mind of Jeffrey Dahmer book review: a disturbing

Jeffrey Dahmer started drinking alcohol at 11-12 years old and became a alcoholic by the time he was 14 years old. Over time Jeffrey Dahmer became sloppy, he was comfortable in his position of power over young men and boys, he may have believed that people would never discover his secret, dark double he lived, but I also believe that he became tired of killing & wanted to eventually to be caught.

The Unabomber" was Ted Kaczynski & he was a victim of the MK Ultra brutalizing psychological experiments programming/torture method of the CIA. I think part of the problem during his childhood, the way he was raised was due to him being alone a lot, especially when his parents were divorced he was abandoned. Many of the authors claims are just claims with not a lot or very basic evidence, if he had spoken to professionals it may have given his claims more weight. I did think that it was interesting to compare killers to try and understand why they did what they did, he immediately ruined this by waffling on after the point about information that does not matter. i thought the chapter at the end of the book about how psychiatrists and psychologists assessed dahmer’s mental state at the time of his crimes was written quite weirdly to be honest - it was mostly an argument on how psychologists and psychiatrists ‘don’t get along’, and why this can cause serious consequences (evidenced through the inclusion of the case of arthur john shawross which seemed a bit of a tangent because the story, although important in its own right, is irrelevant to the book and the case in question).
