@@hunisarkany3039 he does. He isn't psychopathic. He has a schizo effective disorder which can show up in psychotic traits. U may not know this but during the interview he asked for multiple breaks because this was insanely heavy for him.
@@daymenpollet4202 He was officially diagnosed with Borderline PD. I'm going to try to clarify. According to the Hare checklist he'd be diagnosed as a psychopath but these diagnoses are flimsy at best. Psychopaths according to research, are believed to be able to control their feelings better in general but when it comes to certain emotions especially fear and excitement they don't respond like the rest of us. They have a very low fight or flight response which is why they can pass lie detector tests. Some may be ad hedonistic but that's not exclusively a psychopathic trait. There's still a lot we don't know about antisocial personality disorders. Also, keep in mind comorbidities are not unusual either.
Jeffrey Dehmer was really insightful about himself. One of the scariest interviews because he was so able to put all of his feelings into terms that are understandable to most of us. This is what is so disturbing to me about his evil
@@doesitmatterwhoiam8838 you could’ve dodge one. Who knows. I always say trust your instincts. If you feel something is off, chances are probably something indeed is off. Always trust the brain, it knows better by picking up subtle signals we consciously can’t, right? That’s what I always tell myself anyway. I regret times I’d shrug it off and got myself intimate with… Odd… People
I found it ironic that he used the word "control" so often in his narrative, as if trying to convince himself as well as everyone else, that he did have control when in reality, these obsessions, fantasies and compulsions dominated and controlled him. This one was hard to watch. I'm not sure why. Disturbing yet fascinating.
Virtually all White Anglo-Saxons are obsessed with having brutal control over vulnerable and defenseless people. It's what you creatures love the most. That's why you've killed over a billion people in the last 500 years.
@nTrucker He might not have had full control of the desires, though, which is relatively common among serial killers - the idea that they feel powerless to their urges.
@@HeathenTruckerYes and no. Yes because he dominated them but no because he claimed he didn't want to do it but was plagued with the vile thoughts. Therefore the thoughts controlled him!
@@masterlightjames950 whats crazy is he probably looked just as neutral DURING his crimes, imagine the victims experience with this guy in his appartment
He was probably the most down to earth serial killer out there. He came off as having this ability to be introspective after he got arrested. Even though he did terrible things to people, he wasn’t in this constant mode of trying to deceive and manipulate people like a lot of other killers out there. He seemed very genuine and honest about the horrible things he did to people.
@seannicolas8102 they aren't naive. He expressed many times that he wish he could understand what's going on with him. He tried to talk to his dad at 16 or 17 but dad shut him down. Parents abandoned him as a teen. He didn't like being this way. The urge was too strong. Instead of judging others, try to UNDERSTAND them! It will also help u grow as a person. Speaking from experience. Jeff is diff from other sk's.
Jeffrey isn't a one off serial killer, Ed Kemper and Israel Keyes were VERY forthright and honest after they were caught. It isn't common but some serial killers use truth instead of manipulation to draw you in. Those 3 were masters at it, because getting you to like them or intrigued or even horrified and enraged is the only power/control they have left.
@@heathermallory2096omg his father right?? I know a lot was wrong anyway, but you have to wonder if the whole thing would have got like it did if his parents had a brain cell between them!
He spent so long being quiet about his thoughts/emotions/fantasies it almost looks like a relief to share them with someone. The way he spoke was as if he was trying to understand it himself. In hope someone may be able to make sense of it. I would if paid money to interview him always found his case fascinating
Thanks. Another absolutely fascinating video. The fact that even he acknowledges his behaviours were bizarre and takes ownership for his actions is rare.
Bundy and Gacy went out like bitches, trying to deny everything to their deaths. Despite Gacy turning himself in and drawing a diagram of were the bodies were each buried.
It's kind of scary that he can consciously articulate and recall the feelings he had in such great detail when he was commiting these horrifying acts on his victims. So insanity isn't the case. This man was well aware of the evil desires and fantasies he had when it came to what he did. By no means does this man deserve heaven, but a few things i can say on a positive note i guess, is that he truly blamed himself. He didn't make up stupid excuses or put on a facade. He was truthful and you can tell how honest he was about the horrific things he did. He took full accountability and he even said he deserves the death penalty. He doesn't hold anyone else accountable nor is he blaming others for his wrong doings. I find this quite terrifying because he comes off as a decent dude who is down to earth. If he didn't get caught for what he did i can guarantee you we would have never expected him to be a serial killer. He seemed like a bright dude with high intelligence. That's what makes this all so scary. He was well aware of his calculated and premeditated actions. Manipulative for sure, but down right casual. Like how? I can't even imagine how he got to that state of mind. His up bringing was fairly normal, but his parents abandoned him emotionally. Attention was more focused on his brother. He barely had any friends...He found interest in taxidermy because of his father and fell into a weird desire...A weird fantasy...He enjoyed taxidermy...Not sure how that mindset of his shifted from animals to humans, but um yea. Dude wasn't racially targeting black people in specific and i can believe him when he says that. Yes 10 out of the 17 young men were black, but he had a fair variety of different races he targeted so that kind of justifies the whole race thing....This man just found pleasure in what he did and i can't fathom how he got to that point....He was basically a loner.... Didn't really have much affection growing up or any bonds for that matter ...He wasnt an angry serial killer killing people just to kill them. He just wanted to control his victims... Repetitive abandonment growing up is what made him be the way he turned out to be. It was a recipe for disaster. He didn't want people leaving him. That's the reason why he just wanted his victims in a zombie state. He didn't want to kill them...Its so weird.
Nobody “deserves” heaven. That’s where we go wrong, thinking that serial killers are SO evil. (I’m not saying that’s what you believe, I just want to make a point here.) They are evil, but so are we. The problem is, what is the measuring stick for what “good” is? It’s not other people, it’s Jesus Christ. And NOBODY is good compared to Him. That’s why He paid the price we couldn’t pay for our sins. In a later interview Jeffrey Dahmer said he had accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. And I’m not sure that I don’t believe him. If so, praise God for His amazing mercy. If not, he’ll pay for his sins for all eternity. Either way, God deserves the glory.
He will pay for his sins for all eternity. He was murdered. He's gone forever. It's not enough though. So many people suffered and died at his hands. He seemed so mild mannered, honest, and intelligent. It does make me wonder how he would've turned out if his mother wasn't mentally ill and if his father did not initially support his hobby of dissection and bone collecting. Somehow I get the chilling feeling he still would've been a serial killer.
The guy is a monster, yes, but sin is a sin, so we are equally guilty. Does he deserve heaven? Only Jesus can judge that. Remember the thief on the cross that repented and believed in Jesus and the other guy didnt? Guess who went to heaven.
@@pamelaweber4479his father did NOT support any hobby of dissection and bone collecting, what the hell?? Also, if you’re a Christian then YOU MUST believe that he will, in fact, be in HEAVEN for all of eternity. He accepted Jesus as his lord and savior and asked for forgiveness, while he was in prison. And the Bible makes ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS to the fact that that means one WILL end up in heaven, NOT hell. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY to see it otherwise, if you’re a Christian. The Bible never says “except if you’re a murderer.” No. You accept Jesus and repent, you go to heaven PERIOD. One of the many ludicrous things about that so called religion.
His father got him into taxidermy at a young age and desensitized him. Cutting up and dissecting animals. His parents should have known about his mental issues but i feel he was neglected due to their marital woes.
@@georgefromdownthehall3334actually it is. He was obsessed with collecting roadkill and keeping the bones in a display case in his home. It was an introduction to a sort of taxidermy obsession - but also got him to explore the concept of death deeper than he should’ve at his age.
@@jeanettewaverly2590 His father was an admitted pyromaniac as a child. He had similar urges as Jeff did as a child. There's a gene passed down from father to son that is nicknamed the "psychopath gene". Gotta wonder if this was the case here. That, coupled with the chaos caused by his mother, could explain a lot.
Dahmer’s case is disturbing but grotesquely fascinating. I hope you do a series of Joran van der sloot videos dating back to 2005 to his recent proffer agreement and confession. This is a case that many of us will never forget.
And if you do, here’s a tip from a Dutch person: “Sloot” is pronounced as “sloat”, like in “goat”. So phonetically his name is pronounced Yoran von der Sloat. (I see a lot of Americans mispronouncing it, not that it really matters)
@@LotteLaVey😂 Americans mispronounce it and will claim that they're correct. 😆 I am an American. I would say Sloot prounce like boo. Not oat. Cool detail! Thank you.
@@LotteLaVey fully agree lived in holland and speak Dutch, it is pronounced exactly as you say. It would be nice to go over that person. It was hard for my family that is living there at the time she disappeared and they did not talk about how the entire island stopped just to look for this girl. The island deserves an apology from him and her mother.
oh please not don't give the person you talk about any attention as that's what he finds thrilling to do things that people would talk about world wide and on tv, just don't.. act as if he doesn't exist. he will do more crime if he walks free just to get that media and overall attention
I felt he really tried to help investigators understand him. But, I also feel he wanted to understand as well. He was very forthright the profiler that interviewed him said. His parents missed clues. He'd find road kill and experiment on them. His dad thought he'd become a doctor. 😂😂😂
@@teresacorrigan3076 Jeffrey Dahmer never killed animals in fact. He collected dead animals, like road kill, and studied their bodies. He is a different case compared to other serial killers who did kill small animals. 👋🇨🇦🌠
I just watched an interrogation of a woman in Missouri who alongside her mother used antifreeze to poison her siblings and father/ husband. The father died first, then the brother, they didn't want three family members to die in the house, so they took the daughter/ sister to hospital hoping she would die there. It's probably the most insane interrogation I've seen a woman take part in. Easily the most psychopathic person I've seen yet. You spend days breaking her interrogation down. It's intense. Heather Staudte and her mother Diane.
It's not one neuroscientist. He was subjected to a battery of psychiatric tests, including ones for psychopathy. He did not score highly enough on the psychopathy test to meet the definition. He was interviewed by several psychiatrists during his trial, and they all agreed that he wasn't a psychopath.
@@drgexplains Actually, one forensic psychiatrist, Dr Carl Wahlstrom, did find psychosis, but he was the only one and it didn’t persuade the jury. As for psychopathy, Dahmer’s PCL-R score was 23/40. He was evaluated by 8 different psychologists and psychiatrists and none of them said he was a psychopath, not even the ones for the prosecution. The closest anyone came to saying he was a psychopath was Dr. Palermo who said he had a mixed personality disorder with antisocial features. Dahmer took the MMPI and was found to have borderline and schizotypal personality disorders. This is what makes his case so endlessly fascinating. Dahmer really is unlike most serial killers.
@@webbess1 The PCL-R is a weird tool. It isn't a very consistent tool between raters and even Gacy didn't score as a psychopath on it. I could do a whole video on just the psychopath aspect, but I still am 100% certain that Dahmer was one.
White people always make excuses' for this insane behavior, there are a lot of broken people out in the world that will have no intentions of doing such a hateful crime not even a thought 🤨
@r4h4al he did try to fight it, he even tried to control his feelings by trying extremely hard to fight it for 9 years but it got too strong that he lost control and gave up trying to fight those feelings.
According to what was said at his trial, he did not meet the criteria for Psychopath. There’s no evidence he killed animals; only dissected road kill. I’m pretty much just stating what others have. I appreciate your thoughts, Dr. G. 😊
Obliterated a small sunfish he caught according to a childhood friend. So there is evidence, you just have to do more research before jumping to conclusions.
When I was a child in about '93, I had a classmate named Carson. He lived on the same street, and whenever we would hang out he would burn ants with a magnifying glass, but he would do it in such a way that would make me revolted. He would burn them slowly to see how much damage they could take while still living. It was disgusting to me. I still like starting campfires with the power of the sun, but could never understand killing anything just for my own amusement. Needless to say, we did not associate much with each other.
Weird coincidence that you bring that up. I was just thinking an incident that happened long ago when I went camping with my friend and her parents. She had a magnifying glass and was going to fry and kill an ant. I looked at her horrified and asked why she would want to do that. She seemed surprised at my reaction. Even as an 8-year-old. I knew it was sick to want to hurt any creature for "fun". She didn't go through with it.
When I was around 11, i was walking along outside with this other kid who was 2 years older. I found a little baby frog and said to him “Wow look at this cute little frog”. Immediately, he just picked it up and drop kicked it a good 20 feet in the air. Needless to say the frog was killed. I was shocked that his first reaction was to just kill a defenceless creature and did it with no emotion. It was like it was normal…
could never understand killing anything just for my own amusement. I like this statement. I completely agree with you. I will always wonder how a man can kill others just to satisfy himself. I still don't understand it. It's unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well shit, I spent a lot of time during my 3-6 years playing with ants outside. Which included killing them, sometimes. I remember pouring boiling water over the nest to see what would happen. Then I’d make a “Ant Hospital” from rocks and sticks and leaves and try to save them. I’m not a psychopath, though. Weird, maybe yes, but never killed anything more than bugs. PS: No ants were revived :( but as I grew up managed to save small little birds lost from their nest, and then released them back into the wild when they were able to fly.
Dr G - you have done it again. Jeffrey has always been fascinating to me in a creepy way!! I find it hard to believe he was such a monster because of his demeanor. Your analysis makes it all fall into place. Thanks 😎
What's absolutely terrifying about Dahmer is we've only seen this calm and serene side to him. Bundy, Gacy, Ramirez etc all showed glimpses of their evil sides but only one man, Tracy, has seen the dark side of this man and it traumatized him to his core. Behind that handsome face and almost soothing voice lays something so ugly and twisted. Also him taking the full responsibility of his actions was admirable however Joyce and Lionel did their parts in screwing him up from a very young age. From neglect to desensitizing him to death and gore. Both nature and nurture betrayed him.
@@yellowmoon4564 Like NO NO NO SO DID THE CLOWN DUDE. THAT IS THE MOST ASININE COMMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD ANYONE RESPOND TO, Towards me. Like Do What? What? Girl Let Me Give you a small piece Of Advice! THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. THINK DEEPER, WAYYY WAYYY DEEPER
@@Nefertiti0403 I was just kidding, chill pls :) Yes he is different from so many others. I think he was smart and he didnt blame others for his problems or mistakes.
@@yellowmoon4564I agree. I also think he wanted to stop but was completely incapable of it. He tried multiple times but always failed. Like an addict.
Dr. G! thank you for going over the topic of Psychopathy within Jeffrey. It is definitely a widely debated topic. Very Interesting. I agree with your observation.
Dr G, there was an interview with Jeffrey and his father done by another analysis group. If you have time to do your analysis of that interview, it would be so interesting. Jeffrey was leaning so far away from his father he almost fell out of the chair. Just curious of your interpretation of the situation. Thanks for all you do!
I am a parent coach and educator to parents raising children and teens with reactive attachment disorder. This is never a singular diagnosis but always accompanied by multiple other diagnosis. Most often being oppositional defiant disorder, bipolar, and narcissistic personality disorder. Many also receive the diagnosis of psychopath. Dilated pupils always indicate inner struggles with fight, or flight. It is a clue of inward mental chaos, but outward it causes a protective response in others. This is because small children and babies have giant pupils naturally as they are taking in information constantly. The protective response it causes in others is not conscious but unconscious. It is indeed manipulating the person speaking with him or her and gives them the sense of a truth teller. I disagree with you on Dahmer telling the truth just because he nodded in sequence with his words. I have seen children learn this skill as a means of appearing to be truthful. He is old enough to have learned how to manipulate and say what he knows people want to hear. His eye contact is only for the purpose of reading the interviewer. He has an arrogance in the lines around his mouth. He is literally only telling what people want to hear. He knows he has to admit what he did, but his expressions and eye contact tell he feels he is in control of this conversation and the listeners view of him.
Agree totally. Dahmer was a pathological liar, which is how he was able to solicit sex unawares with teenagers and why he got away with it for so long.
I get the impression he is projecting strength of will when he looks the interviewer in the eye while talking about things he's actually done. When he uses expressions such as "things I shouldn't have done", I get the impression that the approbation is superficial - it shouldn't have been done because it was an expression of loss of control, not because he felt it was morally wrong. When he takes full responsibility - "it wasn't the porn, it wasn't society", etc. - he is displaying his strength of will: he doesn't need crutches. He probably feels that most people admire strength of will but would be reluctant to acknowledge that in these circumstances. He derives pleasure from drawing that admiration (or so he imagines) from the interviewer.
Very well explained and he does that look with the chin movement almost like he is subtly take prides in that, you know the typical body language people have, that.
If you look at Cluster B personality disorders, which include narcissistic, borderline and sociopathic, there are a lot of overlapping signs and symptoms. I think he is definitely in the Cluster B realm, and I agree his straightforwardness is remarkable and unusual. But what he is admitting is absolutely chilling. He seems to have either less shame overall about his nature or a stronger desire for some kind of congruency between his inner world and how he presents in the external world.
His intense fear of people leaving him he sometimes mentions makes me first about Borderline Personality Disorder, with something more serious, of course. He sure had the upbringing of one.
Cluster B and Cluster A. He had borderline personality disorder and schizotipal personality disorder. Also, some traits of antisocial personality disorder but not enought to cualify as one. Also, he has a psychotic disorder not otherwise specified, and at last he had some paraphillias being necrofilia the most important of all of them. This were the diagnoses that psychologists and psychiatrist gave him in the trial.
He is rare in taking credit for his compulsions. It is haunting to hear but even though he was so possessed in a way he seemed to tell in a way for others to learn from what his mind did. What i cant grasp are the people who " fall in love" with these killers. Maybe do a series on the ones who married them in prison. What would drive them to write numerous letters to the convicted serial killers. They are like a weird groupie group.
I have never heard of a man marrying a woman who was an inmate, have you? I was just thinking that it's always women on the outside who marry prisoners. I wonder if it has to do with the natural tendency to want to nurture and they see these broken men as someone they can nurture (love?) and they would become better human beings? Just a thought.
it is called hybristophilia and it is a perversion that arises from malaise. Most of the time, hybristophilic women are women disturbed due to traumas generated by toxic and deviant behaviors of people who are often male, such as fathers, boyfriends and husbands who then have normalized in their lives
It does happen though, there's a female canadian murderer who had plenty of male groupies. It's just less mediatized and there are much less female serial killers (or just much less who get caught). Woman don't have any nurturing instinct, but many woman (and men) are stupid and delusional. They see a conventionally attractive person of their favorite sex and their 2 neurons just freeze in place.
Dr. G: READ THIS - I was acquainted with a "KEVIN DAHMER" at a ranch for troubled youth in Utah, in 1998/99. HE was ALSO a weirdo. He used to have sex with animals and torture them as well. Interestingly, he was also from the Midwest US, just cannot recall exactly where. Although I agree that Jeff Dahmer may have been neurologically, pre-disposed to psychopathy, I also STRONGLY believe that that his environment and experiences VERY STRONGLY shaped his way of thinking. For example; his folks having an extremely sour relationship and possible DV, severe neglect, and Dahmer's inability to connect emotionally in a normative way due to likely, Reactive Attachment Disorder. It seems like his only or very little times of attachment at a very young age, were when his father taxidermied, experimented, and even tortured animals. Jeff said so himself (possibly in this interview in fact), that he witnessed his father torture animals at a young age. There is one more factor, that I also VERY strongly believe existed in Dahmer's case, which never seems to have been disclosed or realized: severe abuse. Was it his Dad, Lionel? Or someone else? Not sure. However, it seems extremely suspicious that when Jeff's parents divorced, Joyce took their 11 year old son David (Jeff's younger brother) with complete custody, and moved far away to Wisconsin; leaving Jeff and Lionel in Ohio. Why? And why did the court allow, not only FULL and sole custody of David, but also to another state?! Yeah right. There's much more to the Dahmer family story than the public knows. Lionel wrote his book immediately after Jeff was killed, almost as if to set a narrative. He consistently blamed his wife for Jeff's crappy upbringing. All the while, she blamed herself. I also sense a great deal of unaccountability and potentially strong projection on the part of Lionel. Maybe not, but it sure seems and appears that way. A lot of the accusations Lionel made about Joyce, ended up not being in-line with facts or observations made by others. It is in my opinion, and STRICTLY theory, that Lionel Dahmer may have possibly been very abusive in some way, when Jeff was very young. Link that, with severe neglect and weird connecting observations and behaviors of animal cruelty and taxidermy of a way to connect, and you've got a perfect storm, called Jeffrey Dahmer. Couple the above mentioned, to a teen named Kevin Dahmer from the Midwest, who raped and tortured animals, and I strongly doubt the abuse came from Jeff's Mom. Weird and abnormal behavior, such as torturing animals runs generationally in families, is almost always exhibited by children suffering from severe abuse trauma. Again, just my theories based on legitimate facts.
Your videos are so good, I wish they were an hour long! That’s definitely a compliment not a complaint. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us!
Jeffery Dahmer always struck me as being honest and maybe even genuinely perplexed by his actions. In most interviews Ive seen of him, he always looks to be trying to analyze himself and his actions and doesnt seem to be hiding anything. Its almost as if he want to be so open and honest as to maybe gain answers from someone or anyone he interviews with.
I always get the same feeling whenever I see a vod of him or read about him. And it makes me wonder if his crimes were easily preventable, if only he had an adult who could help during his highschool years.
@Mister-ti5ce No Jeffrey was definitely a Sociopath, he was NOT a Psychopath. Ted Bundy is a very good example of a psychopath. That's what makes Ted much more scarier than Jeffery. Ted had the ability to charm and manipulate people into thinking he was a good person. This is a behavior only found in psychopaths, Jeffrey didn't have that ability. Often when psychopathic killers are interviewed about their crimes they are often seen smiling and making jokes. Which is not a behavior seen with Jeffery Dahmer. Ted Bundy was also more dangerous than Jeffery because he was more mentally unstable. When he was out on the run from the police he just waltzed into a sorority, beat, tortured, and killed a bunch of random girls. However that would be completely out of character for Jeffrey, but Ted doesn't have a sense of morality, shame, or guilt. Jeffery does have a sense of morality because he in fact does admit he was wrong.
I can't shake the feeling that after reading some comments, they never really read about the real person J.D. and instead probably only watched the Netflix series. He definitely had the ability to come across as very likable to others and was excellent at hiding his dark side. He was very liked by about just everyone who knew him. In school, he was very popular and liked, he was the class clown with his own fan club. His father once guessed J.D. had no friends because he seemed quiet and shy at home, which was probably more due to his parents constant fights and arguments. However, he was the complete opposite at school. Classmates who know him, said that he was popular and quite normal, and that he had friends. He made a lot of jokes and was silly, getting along well with everyone. His teachers said he was always well spoken and respectful to them, very intelligent with good grades. There were topics that interested him, which he listened to very attentively, but there were also topics that did not capture his interest, and in those, he did not perform as well. In his apartment complex, he also had no problems with a single person, on the contrary, he was good friends with several people. From time to time, he spent time with a man from across his apartment, and with the landlord, (or was this the landlord I don't remember exactly) and he often brought chocolate from work as gifts for them . A woman who knew him from the apartment complex had a hard crush on him and asked him out on a date, which he politely declined. Everyone at work also liked him very much. In the gay community he was also very popular. Many described him as exactly their type : tall, muscular, a good looking blonde, with blue eyes and charming. He awakened people's desire to baby and nurture him. That's what people said. It wasn't quite like how Netflix portrayed it. Nobody in the building was suspicious or noticed anything. The suspicious neighbor from next door (like in Netflix) didn’t actually exist. Only her name was real, but she didn't live in the house. His apartment didn’t smell and was always tidy and clean. Only towards the end there was some odor because he could barely keep up with disposing of the bodies. When he was arrested once, it took the cops three hours to subdue him and handcuff him, and afterwards, they said, 'J.D. is definitely not a pussy, the man knows how to take care of himself and he can fight.' He was involved in a fight outside a club. It took several bystanders to break up the fight. You can not make psychological diagnoses when you don’t know him. You can form an opinion about him, but you shouldn't throw around diagnoses. Especially when the facts or the basis on which your 'diagnosis' rests are not correct.
I watched the new Dahmer series in Netflix and for me it kind of took away the “realism” of the events, it kinda just felt like a Hollywood horror series more than anything. But watching this and realizing that this man right there had actually done it. He’s honest about what he did but he says it so casually too. Idk it’s just hard to wrap my mind around it. Like he digested human organs. Kept their skeletons. It’s just so . I have no words
Psychopaths have cognitive empathy but they don't feel empathy, that's my understanding of it. For the record Autistic people like myself often have felt empathy but struggle with cognitive ie we don't neccessarly understand WHY someone feels something, but we can feel it as if it is our own - not of us all but many. While I'm here I may as well note that Autism is EXTREMELY miscunderstood by Allistic people. Not that any of that relates to Psychopathy lol
Very good perspective, but not all people with ASD have problems with empathy or lack of. My daughter and I are extremely empathetic and autistic but our problem is how to regulate the emotions in a healthy manner without feeling ultimate happiness for someone, sadness, etc
I am autistic and my struggle is I don't feel empathy for others when I know I should. It's not that I don't care about the person but if something is too far removed from me I don't feel sad. I still am compassionate in my actions and words but the actual feeling of empathy I don't feel.
I think he really was relieved he was caught. I do think he tried to help people understand what was wrong with him. He even said if he had the chance he would probably do it again. He doesn’t seem deceptive. I think the guy was abandoned by his own family and so screwed up he was wanting to somehow keep people with him where they couldn’t abandon him. He couldn’t control anything in his life that was dealt to him, except that one horrible thing.
Love this case study. Please do the vid of him with his father [right after his father wrote a book about himself- clearly Narcissistic- just watch the vid]. Their body language esp Jeff's trying to move away from the father in his seat, says how the relationship was. btw.. there is a vid with his mother in it also. she doesn't sound well and had someone next to her to help her. I guess at this time it was because of anxiety. but she did have a few documented [mental health] hospitalizations. When Jeff was unalived she tried to unalive herself.
UA-cam has put in new rules about what can and can't be said. Supposedly certain trigger words will get a vid flagged, de-monetized or pulled. too many flags will get the content creator shut down. It's absolutely ridiculous, I know, but I don't want to be responsible for negatively affecting good content from getting seen.
Thank you for showing the person who's face your reading next to yours and then replaying it for us as you explain what to look out for! I find a lot of body language videos don't do that and I was struggling to see the movements they were talking about. My eyes/brain never knows where on their face to look exactly so I miss a lot of stuff.
Not bad. You missed out the passive language he used. Lots of serial killers use the passive voice when describing things. "He was killed." instead of "I killed hin." or "The first killing was not planned." etcetera.
He completely tested what we know about humanity. He doesn’t seem to truly feel remorse or deep empathy for his victims, more so shame in himself and his compulsion. He’s not delusional, he knows he committed unspeakable acts but he also would have kept going if he hadn’t been arrested. It really shows the dark side of human psychology. It’s an unforgivable tragedy that the families of those men will never be the same because of him.
Dr G I love watching your videos .The lady interviewer was calm and quiet which made him talk more about what he had done.I was neally crying when he talked about eating the hearts i just couldnt believe it .Im so glad he was caught .Thankyou to the police .
"Body language experts" by & large tend to read TOO MUCH into every shift of an eye, every twitch of a corner of the mouth, every touch of the face, every lift of a finger. Oftentimes licking one's lips or rubbing one's face is JUST EXACTLY THAT, no more & no less. I close my eyes quite often when asked to give my thoughts about something merely because it helps me clarify my point and cuts down on my rambling.....it doesn't mean I'm being dishonest or I'm trying to manipulate or that I want someone to buy into my fantasy....it merely helps me clarify my language and get to the point. "Body language experts" will tell you that in doing so I'm "self-soothing" or some other nonsense. Scratching one's face sometimes means it itches....breaking eye contact sometimes means my cat is doing something across the room that I need to check on. We've all got to take these "expert" observations & opinions with a grain of salt.
Did Dahmer have empathy? Are people getting empathy confused with understanding right and wrong? Because he shows some insight into his behavior, but I don't really see that as empathy. He comes off 100% as a psychopath to me. (All 0 years of professional training) It's the really low level of emotion that makes me think that .
He was going to "drug him and spend the night with him" but not hurt him? He was SAing people and taking risks with their health, taking away their autonomy, but to him that's not "hurting". What a dangerous lack of empathy he had...
Thank you Dr. G, you answered the question I was going to ask about Dahmer realizing when he was younger he had urges to do the things he was gearing up to do. My question had to do with him getting help when he was younger, if that would have stopped him to continue on his path. You said he was wired that way. At least he was trying to make it easier to understand how serial killers minds work.
If CPS were around when he was a kid and they knew about his parents toxic environment [yelling, hitting, abandoning him] they would've done something. [I mean he was going to H.S. drunk! clearly, something wrong.] I also think that when he realized that he was gay in a strongly religious and critical environment, it was shameful to him and he tried to fight it.
@@chrisputnam8055his family did not abandon or physically neglect him, other than their marital strife they provided a good home for their children. They were not really religious either, his father was homophobic though and became a fundamentalist much later, when JD was already happily serial killing. Keep in mind that this guy had a younger brother who grew up to become a law abiding and productive member of society. This family was in no way a case for CPS. Also, drinking as a teen was quite normal back then and still is in many parts of the world. He might have been drinking a bit more than the others but he was still fully functional and had no issue quitting for a while when he went for basic training in the army.
I read that Jeffery confessed to everything because he wanted to get out of the death penalty...also a family member of mine saw a documentary about serial killers and it said that serial killer's amegdela is messed up and they don't have a good sense of smell...I guess that is how they can deal with those dead bodys.
Yes, the amygdala(located in the center of the brain) in a malfunctioning brain cannot "talk" to the front of the brain(prefrontal cortex). This is why doctors can take an MRI or PET scan of someone's brain and diagnose them as a psychopath or not. A brain that does not "light up" between the center and front of the brain is a psychopath.
Yes, i heard that too. Not sure if its the amygdala, but i heard sociopaths have a higher tolerance for disgust. Its fascinating, because in order to survive as an animal, you have to have a high tolerance for disgust. Since dogs lack empathy, they have a very high tolerance for disgust, (in fact, they have an affinity for it..they seek it out) even though they have a very acute sense of smell.
Wisconsin hasnt had the death penalty for over 100 years. The amygdala does not control ones sense of smell; thats controled by the olfactory bulb near the front of the brain. The amygdala has to do with processing emotions. Very often it is found to be underactive in persons displaying psychopathic tendencies.
The first part isn't true. Wisconsin abolished the death penalty in 1853. He couldn't _get out of_ the death penalty because it was never on the table in the first place. So he confessed to everything for some other reason, and whomever wrote what you read pulled that idea out of their butt.

Because of my curious nature, I am one of those people who’s always trying to understand and figure out why. Especially when it comes to people. This is the brain that I try to get into and think how he would think or try to feel how he would feel, and I can’t do it! It’s an enigma, and it drives me nuts.
He's acting in the 1993 Inside Edition interview. He uses movie lines word for word, passing them off as 'memories' from the comedy horror film written about him in 1992, filming finished July 1992 it was ready for distribution by Sept 1992. Just a tiny sample of what has been found. See the video evidence on The Dahmer Case A Critical Analysis across popular platforms. It's out there.
Like you said, no envy for the interviewer, also mad respect to her. Super brave. I notice her lips are pursed while she’s listening to his responses. I’m not an expert but I do that when I’m listening to somthing I’m trying not to react to. Trying to stay visually judgement free. Good interviewer.
What he did was horrific and barbaric but it is fascinating the way he admits his crimes, goes into deep detail and seems to also want to understand why he was that way too. Not many criminals out there admit their crimes and actively try to assist medical professionals or reporters who want to know the truth of the mind and the why.
The thing that throws me about him is he does seem to have a sense of guilt, kind of. His using dress dummies for a while makes me think he was trying not to harm people. He wasn’t good at not harming people, but he tried. Idk He always seems honest to me. I think once the jig was up it didn’t matter anymore. You made me feel less sorry for him. I always have a tiny bit. I think because I really don’t like his father.
I find Jeffrey Dahmer’s dad very interesting, he seemed to be a severe narcissist and started Dahmer on his obsession with dead things when they would dissect roadkill together. My question is, are psychopaths able to have severe abandonment issues?
So true.. I’d go further and say all manipulators tell you exactly who they are…it’s important to observe & LISTEN. See the message is now my fave go to thought. Fascinating analysis. Thank you 🙏
The witness account of Tracy Edwards on court TV depicts a man possessed by the devil. He had to ply himself with alcohol and work himself up by watching the "the exorcist III" movie and chanting. He would go in an out of being either "himself" or "not himself". He had sold his soul and had no chance to reform, nor did he want to, as he himself admits.
His eyes are really terrifying for me.. if he would look at me I would never forget his gaze, I don't think I have ever seen a literal definition of dead eyes. It's worse than the void for me.
When he said his alter/trophy room was a place where he could go to collect his thoughts, he shook his head no rather vigorously. I don't think he wants to say the room was masturbatory.
Great video Dr. G! One thing I feel about the excuses section, I get the feeling he is only internalizing blame because that’s what the people around him want him to do. The exaggerated tone on “Those are all just EXCUSES” gives me that vibe. I think he is trying to put on a show to an extent, both to a) try to shift blame away from his parents with whom he always had a good (if sometimes conventionally strained) relationship and b) push the narrative that Dahmer wants to teach others about his mental illness to avoid the creation of other similar people in the future. I think Dahmer was very smart and is being principally considerate of how his legacy will affect his family in his last days. It’s an interesting juxtaposition to Bundy who leading up to his execution simply doubled down trying to blame pornography and other forces (not his parents though) even going so far as to seek out biased interviewers to push that narrative just prior to his execution. Both killers clearly trying to control the narrative of their evil but one is doing it more for his surviving family (hence why Dahmer engages with dialogue without being comfortable) and the other for his own image (explaining why Bundy retains his typical charm and excited speech patterns).
He looks so normal... which is exactly how he got away with as much as he did i suppose... not sure i would be entirely comfortable sitting in that room though
“Then clarified a misunderstanding that I had and said that most of the gay people do have a steady lover but that he did not. He described himself as “pretty much of a loner in the middle of a crowd”, (in the crowd of other gay men). At the bars, said that he would drink and “scan the crowd”. He did not dance, he did little talking. When asked, he said that he had friends at work but did not go out with them. Did not have any social life, “just the bars and the bathhouses”. Admitted that he was feeling lonely. Agreed that had he had more interaction with people, he might have had less homosexual homicidal urges. This paragraph reflects on his personality make-up. That he certainly has trouble forming relationships. Tends towards social withdrawal. Has what we call schizoid personality disordered traits. Later on in my interview, we discussed that perhaps had he been more into bonding with people, forming relationships, that uh none of this might have happened.” - Dr Frederick Fosdal, psychiatrist for the prosecution/State.
That's called cold empathy. He understands emotion but doesn't feel them.
He does feel emotions
bullshit.
@@hunisarkany3039 he does. He isn't psychopathic. He has a schizo effective disorder which can show up in psychotic traits. U may not know this but during the interview he asked for multiple breaks because this was insanely heavy for him.
@@daymenpollet4202 im agree with this, i mean cold empahty is bullshit. he clearly not psychopathic at all
@@daymenpollet4202 He was officially diagnosed with Borderline PD. I'm going to try to clarify. According to the Hare checklist he'd be diagnosed as a psychopath but these diagnoses are flimsy at best.
Psychopaths according to research, are believed to be able to control their feelings better in general but when it comes to certain emotions especially fear and excitement they don't respond like the rest of us. They have a very low fight or flight response which is why they can pass lie detector tests.
Some may be ad hedonistic but that's not exclusively a psychopathic trait. There's still a lot we don't know about antisocial personality disorders. Also, keep in mind comorbidities are not unusual either.
Jeffrey Dehmer was really insightful about himself. One of the scariest interviews because he was so able to put all of his feelings into terms that are understandable to most of us. This is what is so disturbing to me about his evil
What I find disturbing is that I'd probably swipe right.

I found it ironic that he used the word "control" so often in his narrative, as if trying to convince himself as well as everyone else, that he did have control when in reality, these obsessions, fantasies and compulsions dominated and controlled him. This one was hard to watch. I'm not sure why. Disturbing yet fascinating.
Virtually all White Anglo-Saxons are obsessed with having brutal control over vulnerable and defenseless people. It's what you creatures love the most. That's why you've killed over a billion people in the last 500 years.
Umm. His crimes proved he had full control. Lol
@nTrucker He might not have had full control of the desires, though, which is relatively common among serial killers - the idea that they feel powerless to their urges.
@@HeathenTruckerYes and no. Yes because he dominated them but no because he claimed he didn't want to do it but was plagued with the vile thoughts. Therefore the thoughts controlled him!

Wouldnt you be scared? Talking to someone like him?
Perché commenti in italiano?😅
Its like staring down the barrel of a loaded gun 😅
He was probably the most down to earth serial killer out there. He came off as having this ability to be introspective after he got arrested. Even though he did terrible things to people, he wasn’t in this constant mode of trying to deceive and manipulate people like a lot of other killers out there. He seemed very genuine and honest about the horrible things he did to people.
You are really naive 😂
@seannicolas8102 they aren't naive. He expressed many times that he wish he could understand what's going on with him. He tried to talk to his dad at 16 or 17 but dad shut him down. Parents abandoned him as a teen. He didn't like being this way. The urge was too strong. Instead of judging others, try to UNDERSTAND them! It will also help u grow as a person. Speaking from experience. Jeff is diff from other sk's.
@@seannicolas8102 How so?
Jeffrey isn't a one off serial killer, Ed Kemper and Israel Keyes were VERY forthright and honest after they were caught. It isn't common but some serial killers use truth instead of manipulation to draw you in. Those 3 were masters at it, because getting you to like them or intrigued or even horrified and enraged is the only power/control they have left.
@@heathermallory2096omg his father right?? I know a lot was wrong anyway, but you have to wonder if the whole thing would have got like it did if his parents had a brain cell between them!
He spent so long being quiet about his thoughts/emotions/fantasies it almost looks like a relief to share them with someone. The way he spoke was as if he was trying to understand it himself. In hope someone may be able to make sense of it.

@@Pancake_Dragons why are you defending someone that’s obsessing over a murderer.
@@MokPlex I find this all interesting too, but of course I don't like that he murdered people, and neither does this guy..
@@MokPlex what are u talking about? Understanding these people and interviewing them will help future investigations and maybe prevent deaths!
Thanks. Another absolutely fascinating video. The fact that even he acknowledges his behaviours were bizarre and takes ownership for his actions is rare.
Bundy and Gacy went out like bitches, trying to deny everything to their deaths. Despite Gacy turning himself in and drawing a diagram of were the bodies were each buried.
Reverse psychology, what can you do when you are caught?
It's kind of scary that he can consciously articulate and recall the feelings he had in such great detail when he was commiting these horrifying acts on his victims. So insanity isn't the case. This man was well aware of the evil desires and fantasies he had when it came to what he did. By no means does this man deserve heaven, but a few things i can say on a positive note i guess, is that he truly blamed himself. He didn't make up stupid excuses or put on a facade. He was truthful and you can tell how honest he was about the horrific things he did. He took full accountability and he even said he deserves the death penalty. He doesn't hold anyone else accountable nor is he blaming others for his wrong doings. I find this quite terrifying because he comes off as a decent dude who is down to earth. If he didn't get caught for what he did i can guarantee you we would have never expected him to be a serial killer. He seemed like a bright dude with high intelligence. That's what makes this all so scary. He was well aware of his calculated and premeditated actions. Manipulative for sure, but down right casual. Like how? I can't even imagine how he got to that state of mind. His up bringing was fairly normal, but his parents abandoned him emotionally. Attention was more focused on his brother. He barely had any friends...He found interest in taxidermy because of his father and fell into a weird desire...A weird fantasy...He enjoyed taxidermy...Not sure how that mindset of his shifted from animals to humans, but um yea. Dude wasn't racially targeting black people in specific and i can believe him when he says that. Yes 10 out of the 17 young men were black, but he had a fair variety of different races he targeted so that kind of justifies the whole race thing....This man just found pleasure in what he did and i can't fathom how he got to that point....He was basically a loner.... Didn't really have much affection growing up or any bonds for that matter ...He wasnt an angry serial killer killing people just to kill them. He just wanted to control his victims... Repetitive abandonment growing up is what made him be the way he turned out to be. It was a recipe for disaster. He didn't want people leaving him. That's the reason why he just wanted his victims in a zombie state. He didn't want to kill them...Its so weird.
Nobody “deserves” heaven. That’s where we go wrong, thinking that serial killers are SO evil. (I’m not saying that’s what you believe, I just want to make a point here.) They are evil, but so are we. The problem is, what is the measuring stick for what “good” is? It’s not other people, it’s Jesus Christ. And NOBODY is good compared to Him. That’s why He paid the price we couldn’t pay for our sins.
In a later interview Jeffrey Dahmer said he had accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. And I’m not sure that I don’t believe him. If so, praise God for His amazing mercy. If not, he’ll pay for his sins for all eternity. Either way, God deserves the glory.
He will pay for his sins for all eternity. He was murdered. He's gone forever. It's not enough though. So many people suffered and died at his hands. He seemed so mild mannered, honest, and intelligent. It does make me wonder how he would've turned out if his mother wasn't mentally ill and if his father did not initially support his hobby of dissection and bone collecting. Somehow I get the chilling feeling he still would've been a serial killer.
The guy is a monster, yes, but sin is a sin, so we are equally guilty. Does he deserve heaven? Only Jesus can judge that. Remember the thief on the cross that repented and believed in Jesus and the other guy didnt? Guess who went to heaven.
@@pamelaweber4479his father did NOT support any hobby of dissection and bone collecting, what the hell??
Also, if you’re a Christian then YOU MUST believe that he will, in fact, be in HEAVEN for all of eternity. He accepted Jesus as his lord and savior and asked for forgiveness, while he was in prison. And the Bible makes ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS to the fact that that means one WILL end up in heaven, NOT hell. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY to see it otherwise, if you’re a Christian.
The Bible never says “except if you’re a murderer.” No. You accept Jesus and repent, you go to heaven PERIOD.
One of the many ludicrous things about that so called religion.
Did you know he was born again in his last days? He came to truly know God and i believe that.
His father got him into taxidermy at a young age and desensitized him. Cutting up and dissecting animals. His parents should have known about his mental issues but i feel he was neglected due to their marital woes.
His mother’s mental problems have been widely discussed, but I think there’s more to his father than meets the eye.
Not true
@@georgefromdownthehall3334actually it is. He was obsessed with collecting roadkill and keeping the bones in a display case in his home. It was an introduction to a sort of taxidermy obsession - but also got him to explore the concept of death deeper than he should’ve at his age.
@@jeanettewaverly2590 His father was an admitted pyromaniac as a child. He had similar urges as Jeff did as a child. There's a gene passed down from father to son that is nicknamed the "psychopath gene". Gotta wonder if this was the case here. That, coupled with the chaos caused by his mother, could explain a lot.
taxidery and collecting does not equal fantasy/f*cking
Dahmer’s case is disturbing but grotesquely fascinating. I hope you do a series of Joran van der sloot videos dating back to 2005 to his recent proffer agreement and confession. This is a case that many of us will never forget.
And if you do, here’s a tip from a Dutch person: “Sloot” is pronounced as “sloat”, like in “goat”. So phonetically his name is pronounced Yoran von der Sloat.
(I see a lot of Americans mispronouncing it, not that it really matters)
@@LotteLaVey😂 Americans mispronounce it and will claim that they're correct. 😆 I am an American. I would say Sloot prounce like boo. Not oat. Cool detail! Thank you.
@@LotteLaVey fully agree lived in holland and speak Dutch, it is pronounced exactly as you say. It would be nice to go over that person. It was hard for my family that is living there at the time she disappeared and they did not talk about how the entire island stopped just to look for this girl. The island deserves an apology from him and her mother.
oh please not don't give the person you talk about any attention as that's what he finds thrilling to do things that people would talk about world wide and on tv, just don't.. act as if he doesn't exist. he will do more crime if he walks free just to get that media and overall attention

I just watched an interrogation of a woman in Missouri who alongside her mother used antifreeze to poison her siblings and father/ husband. The father died first, then the brother, they didn't want three family members to die in the house, so they took the daughter/ sister to hospital hoping she would die there. It's probably the most insane interrogation I've seen a woman take part in. Easily the most psychopathic person I've seen yet. You spend days breaking her interrogation down. It's intense.
Heather Staudte and her mother Diane.
I seen this. Crazy stuff. People will do any thing to not get caught
It's not one neuroscientist. He was subjected to a battery of psychiatric tests, including ones for psychopathy. He did not score highly enough on the psychopathy test to meet the definition. He was interviewed by several psychiatrists during his trial, and they all agreed that he wasn't a psychopath.
I think you are confusing psychopath with psychotic. He was considered sane and therefore not psychotic, which is unrelated to psychopathy.
@@drgexplains Actually, one forensic psychiatrist, Dr Carl Wahlstrom, did find psychosis, but he was the only one and it didn’t persuade the jury.
As for psychopathy, Dahmer’s PCL-R score was 23/40. He was evaluated by 8 different psychologists and psychiatrists and none of them said he was a psychopath, not even the ones for the prosecution. The closest anyone came to saying he was a psychopath was Dr. Palermo who said he had a mixed personality disorder with antisocial features. Dahmer took the MMPI and was found to have borderline and schizotypal personality disorders.
This is what makes his case so endlessly fascinating. Dahmer really is unlike most serial killers.
@@webbess1 The PCL-R is a weird tool. It isn't a very consistent tool between raters and even Gacy didn't score as a psychopath on it. I could do a whole video on just the psychopath aspect, but I still am 100% certain that Dahmer was one.
@@drgexplains You should do it. It would be very interesting. Would also be interesting to do James Holmes.

When I was a child in about '93, I had a classmate named Carson. He lived on the same street, and whenever we would hang out he would burn ants with a magnifying glass, but he would do it in such a way that would make me revolted. He would burn them slowly to see how much damage they could take while still living. It was disgusting to me.
I still like starting campfires with the power of the sun, but could never understand killing anything just for my own amusement.
Needless to say, we did not associate much with each other.
Weird coincidence that you bring that up. I was just thinking an incident that happened long ago when I went camping with my friend and her parents. She had a magnifying glass and was going to fry and kill an ant. I looked at her horrified and asked why she would want to do that. She seemed surprised at my reaction. Even as an 8-year-old. I knew it was sick to want to hurt any creature for "fun". She didn't go through with it.
When I was around 11, i was walking along outside with this other kid who was 2 years older. I found a little baby frog and said to him “Wow look at this cute little frog”. Immediately, he just picked it up and drop kicked it a good 20 feet in the air. Needless to say the frog was killed. I was shocked that his first reaction was to just kill a defenceless creature and did it with no emotion. It was like it was normal…
could never understand killing anything just for my own amusement.
I like this statement. I completely agree with you. I will always wonder how a man can kill others just to satisfy himself. I still don't understand it. It's unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well shit, I spent a lot of time during my 3-6 years playing with ants outside. Which included killing them, sometimes. I remember pouring boiling water over the nest to see what would happen. Then I’d make a “Ant Hospital” from rocks and sticks and leaves and try to save them.
I’m not a psychopath, though. Weird, maybe yes, but never killed anything more than bugs.
PS: No ants were revived :( but as I grew up managed to save small little birds lost from their nest, and then released them back into the wild when they were able to fly.

What's absolutely terrifying about Dahmer is we've only seen this calm and serene side to him. Bundy, Gacy, Ramirez etc all showed glimpses of their evil sides but only one man, Tracy, has seen the dark side of this man and it traumatized him to his core. Behind that handsome face and almost soothing voice lays something so ugly and twisted. Also him taking the full responsibility of his actions was admirable however Joyce and Lionel did their parts in screwing him up from a very young age. From neglect to desensitizing him to death and gore. Both nature and nurture betrayed him.

Dr G, there was an interview with Jeffrey and his father done by another analysis group. If you have time to do your analysis of that interview, it would be so interesting.

That was very interesting.
I am a parent coach and educator to parents raising children and teens with reactive attachment disorder. This is never a singular diagnosis but always accompanied by multiple other diagnosis. Most often being oppositional defiant disorder, bipolar, and narcissistic personality disorder. Many also receive the diagnosis of psychopath. Dilated pupils always indicate inner struggles with fight, or flight. It is a clue of inward mental chaos, but outward it causes a protective response in others. This is because small children and babies have giant pupils naturally as they are taking in information constantly. The protective response it causes in others is not conscious but unconscious. It is indeed manipulating the person speaking with him or her and gives them the sense of a truth teller.
I disagree with you on Dahmer telling the truth just because he nodded in sequence with his words. I have seen children learn this skill as a means of appearing to be truthful. He is old enough to have learned how to manipulate and say what he knows people want to hear. His eye contact is only for the purpose of reading the interviewer. He has an arrogance in the lines around his mouth. He is literally only telling what people want to hear. He knows he has to admit what he did, but his expressions and eye contact tell he feels he is in control of this conversation and the listeners view of him.
Agree totally. Dahmer was a pathological liar, which is how he was able to solicit sex unawares with teenagers and why he got away with it for so long.
I get the impression he is projecting strength of will when he looks the interviewer in the eye while talking about things he's actually done. When he uses expressions such as "things I shouldn't have done", I get the impression that the approbation is superficial - it shouldn't have been done because it was an expression of loss of control, not because he felt it was morally wrong.
When he takes full responsibility - "it wasn't the porn, it wasn't society", etc. - he is displaying his strength of will: he doesn't need crutches. He probably feels that most people admire strength of will but would be reluctant to acknowledge that in these circumstances. He derives pleasure from drawing that admiration (or so he imagines) from the interviewer.
Did you not listen to Dr. G at all?? Lol
@@HeathenTrucker yah, did you? lol
Very well explained and he does that look with the chin movement almost like he is subtly take prides in that, you know the typical body language people have, that.
If you look at Cluster B personality disorders, which include narcissistic, borderline and sociopathic, there are a lot of overlapping signs and symptoms. I think he is definitely in the Cluster B realm, and I agree his straightforwardness is remarkable and unusual. But what he is admitting is absolutely chilling. He seems to have either less shame overall about his nature or a stronger desire for some kind of congruency between his inner world and how he presents in the external world.
There is no sociopath it’s anti social personality disorder and comes with degree one psychopathy degree 2 sociopath
He was diagnosed Schizotypal Personality Disorder.
@@trevorphillips9576 resources?
His intense fear of people leaving him he sometimes mentions makes me first about Borderline Personality Disorder, with something more serious, of course. He sure had the upbringing of one.
Cluster B and Cluster A. He had borderline personality disorder and schizotipal personality disorder. Also, some traits of antisocial personality disorder but not enought to cualify as one. Also, he has a psychotic disorder not otherwise specified, and at last he had some paraphillias being necrofilia the most important of all of them. This were the diagnoses that psychologists and psychiatrist gave him in the trial.
He is rare in taking credit for his compulsions. It is haunting to hear but even though he was so possessed in a way he seemed to tell in a way for others to learn from what his mind did.
What i cant grasp are the people who " fall in love" with these killers. Maybe do a series on the ones who married them in prison. What would drive them to write numerous letters to the convicted serial killers. They are like a weird groupie group.
The excitement of flirting with danger in a safe, distanced way
I have never heard of a man marrying a woman who was an inmate, have you? I was just thinking that it's always women on the outside who marry prisoners. I wonder if it has to do with the natural tendency to want to nurture and they see these broken men as someone they can nurture (love?) and they would become better human beings? Just a thought.
it is called hybristophilia and it is a perversion that arises from malaise. Most of the time, hybristophilic women are women disturbed due to traumas generated by toxic and deviant behaviors of people who are often male, such as fathers, boyfriends and husbands who then have normalized in their lives
@@Cat-qo3ht i agree. They also probably want to nurture and "fix" the guy.
It does happen though, there's a female canadian murderer who had plenty of male groupies. It's just less mediatized and there are much less female serial killers (or just much less who get caught). Woman don't have any nurturing instinct, but many woman (and men) are stupid and delusional. They see a conventionally attractive person of their favorite sex and their 2 neurons just freeze in place.
Dr. G: READ THIS - I was acquainted with a "KEVIN DAHMER" at a ranch for troubled youth in Utah, in 1998/99. HE was ALSO a weirdo. He used to have sex with animals and torture them as well. Interestingly, he was also from the Midwest US, just cannot recall exactly where. Although I agree that Jeff Dahmer may have been neurologically, pre-disposed to psychopathy, I also STRONGLY believe that that his environment and experiences VERY STRONGLY shaped his way of thinking. For example; his folks having an extremely sour relationship and possible DV, severe neglect, and Dahmer's inability to connect emotionally in a normative way due to likely, Reactive Attachment Disorder. It seems like his only or very little times of attachment at a very young age, were when his father taxidermied, experimented, and even tortured animals. Jeff said so himself (possibly in this interview in fact), that he witnessed his father torture animals at a young age. There is one more factor, that I also VERY strongly believe existed in Dahmer's case, which never seems to have been disclosed or realized: severe abuse. Was it his Dad, Lionel? Or someone else? Not sure. However, it seems extremely suspicious that when Jeff's parents divorced, Joyce took their 11 year old son David (Jeff's younger brother) with complete custody, and moved far away to Wisconsin; leaving Jeff and Lionel in Ohio. Why? And why did the court allow, not only FULL and sole custody of David, but also to another state?! Yeah right. There's much more to the Dahmer family story than the public knows. Lionel wrote his book immediately after Jeff was killed, almost as if to set a narrative. He consistently blamed his wife for Jeff's crappy upbringing. All the while, she blamed herself. I also sense a great deal of unaccountability and potentially strong projection on the part of Lionel. Maybe not, but it sure seems and appears that way. A lot of the accusations Lionel made about Joyce, ended up not being in-line with facts or observations made by others. It is in my opinion, and STRICTLY theory, that Lionel Dahmer may have possibly been very abusive in some way, when Jeff was very young. Link that, with severe neglect and weird connecting observations and behaviors of animal cruelty and taxidermy of a way to connect, and you've got a perfect storm, called Jeffrey Dahmer. Couple the above mentioned, to a teen named Kevin Dahmer from the Midwest, who raped and tortured animals, and I strongly doubt the abuse came from Jeff's Mom. Weird and abnormal behavior, such as torturing animals runs generationally in families, is almost always exhibited by children suffering from severe abuse trauma. Again, just my theories based on legitimate facts.
So out of everything your noisy ass knows u can't recall where he's originally from? Somewhere up Midwest foh😂😂😂😂 u funny ashell
You cover the best cases! Your contnet is so interesting! I love it ❤
Oh man! Super stoked to see another episode, I love your analyses ❤
Your videos are so good, I wish they were an hour long! That’s definitely a compliment not a complaint. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us!
I could def listen to Dr. G for an hour!
What grosses me out the most is the smile behind his eyes. He is enjoying the memories.
I am a huge observer, I strongly pay attention to others body language and their eyes. Body language will always give you answers
If you are a good observer, you don’t need pay attention to clues. You just naturally notice them without realising
I believe he's on the autism spectrum, with sociopathy.
Probably, yeah. Coupled with perhaps OCD - his compulsions are the center of his homicidal personality.
@@carofernandez8312 erm you need to read up on OCD...
@@carofernandez8312I have ocd and I am not thinking of r*ping and murdering people.
You also need to read up on autism better too
I'd really love to see you cover more of these dahmer interviews. Its fascinating to read him through your eyes.
It's amazing how the interviewer is sitting there emotionless listening to him.
Love your videos man! You’re the reason I’m really getting into psychology and body language, keep up the great work! :D
Jeffery Dahmer always struck me as being honest and maybe even genuinely perplexed by his actions. In most interviews Ive seen of him, he always looks to be trying to analyze himself and his actions and doesnt seem to be hiding anything. Its almost as if he want to be so open and honest as to maybe gain answers from someone or anyone he interviews with.
It's a convincing act
I agree. I think he craved control so much because he had no control over any of his life but especially over his compulsions.
I always get the same feeling whenever I see a vod of him or read about him. And it makes me wonder if his crimes were easily preventable, if only he had an adult who could help during his highschool years.
I think he was a sociopath rather than a psychopath.
@Mister-ti5ce To be calm doesn`t means luck of empathy. It`s just the personality.
@Mister-ti5ce No Jeffrey was definitely a Sociopath, he was NOT a Psychopath.
Ted Bundy is a very good example of a psychopath. That's what makes Ted much more scarier than Jeffery. Ted had the ability to charm and manipulate people into thinking he was a good person. This is a behavior only found in psychopaths, Jeffrey didn't have that ability.
Often when psychopathic killers are interviewed about their crimes they are often seen smiling and making jokes. Which is not a behavior seen with Jeffery Dahmer.
Ted Bundy was also more dangerous than Jeffery because he was more mentally unstable. When he was out on the run from the police he just waltzed into a sorority, beat, tortured, and killed a bunch of random girls. However that would be completely out of character for Jeffrey, but Ted doesn't have a sense of morality, shame, or guilt. Jeffery does have a sense of morality because he in fact does admit he was wrong.
I can't shake the feeling that after reading some comments, they never really read about the real person J.D. and instead probably only watched the Netflix series. He definitely had the ability to come across as very likable to others and was excellent at hiding his dark side. He was very liked by about just everyone who knew him. In school, he was very popular and liked, he was the class clown with his own fan club.
His father once guessed J.D. had no friends because he seemed quiet and shy at home, which was probably more due to his parents constant fights and arguments. However, he was the complete opposite at school. Classmates who know him, said that he was popular and quite normal, and that he had friends. He made a lot of jokes and was silly, getting along well with everyone. His teachers said he was always well spoken and respectful to them, very intelligent with good grades. There were topics that interested him, which he listened to very attentively, but there were also topics that did not capture his interest, and in those, he did not perform as well. In his apartment complex, he also had no problems with a single person, on the contrary, he was good friends with several people.
From time to time, he spent time with a man from across his apartment, and with the landlord, (or was this the landlord I don't remember exactly) and he often brought chocolate from work as gifts for them . A woman who knew him from the apartment complex had a hard crush on him and asked him out on a date, which he politely declined. Everyone at work also liked him very much. In the gay community he was also very popular. Many described him as exactly their type : tall, muscular, a good looking blonde, with blue eyes and charming. He awakened people's desire to baby and nurture him. That's what people said. It wasn't quite like how Netflix portrayed it. Nobody in the building was suspicious or noticed anything.
The suspicious neighbor from next door (like in Netflix) didn’t actually exist. Only her name was real, but she didn't live in the house. His apartment didn’t smell and was always tidy and clean. Only towards the end there was some odor because he could barely keep up with disposing of the bodies. When he was arrested once, it took the cops three hours to subdue him and handcuff him, and afterwards, they said, 'J.D. is definitely not a pussy, the man knows how to take care of himself and he can fight.'
He was involved in a fight outside a club. It took several bystanders to break up the fight. You can not make psychological diagnoses when you don’t know him. You can form an opinion about him, but you shouldn't throw around diagnoses. Especially when the facts or the basis on which your 'diagnosis' rests are not correct.
I watched the new Dahmer series in Netflix and for me it kind of took away the “realism” of the events, it kinda just felt like a Hollywood horror series more than anything. But watching this and realizing that this man right there had actually done it. He’s honest about what he did but he says it so casually too. Idk it’s just hard to wrap my mind around it. Like he digested human organs. Kept their skeletons. It’s just so . I have no words
It's just crazy how deeply he understands himself, and how he can articulate those thoughts so well in such a composed and casual manner
I don't think he understands himself, he's just describing how it's like to him in humanly possible.
He learned the text very well, but still forget sometimes.
Psychopaths have cognitive empathy but they don't feel empathy, that's my understanding of it.
For the record Autistic people like myself often have felt empathy but struggle with cognitive ie we don't neccessarly understand WHY someone feels something, but we can feel it as if it is our own - not of us all but many.
While I'm here I may as well note that Autism is EXTREMELY miscunderstood by Allistic people. Not that any of that relates to Psychopathy lol
Very good perspective, but not all people with ASD have problems with empathy or lack of. My daughter and I are extremely empathetic and autistic but our problem is how to regulate the emotions in a healthy manner without feeling ultimate happiness for someone, sadness, etc
I am autistic and my struggle is I don't feel empathy for others when I know I should. It's not that I don't care about the person but if something is too far removed from me I don't feel sad. I still am compassionate in my actions and words but the actual feeling of empathy I don't feel.
Although Jeffrey Dahmer's actions are the worst in criminal history, he is the most reflective and open in his interviews
He is role playing.
Dude he is just acting and saying those things to impress people, "how articulate, honest". You all falling on this facade is hilarius
I think he really was relieved he was caught. I do think he tried to help people understand what was wrong with him. He even said if he had the chance he would probably do it again. He doesn’t seem deceptive. I think the guy was abandoned by his own family and so screwed up he was wanting to somehow keep people with him where they couldn’t abandon him. He couldn’t control anything in his life that was dealt to him, except that one horrible thing.
Really enjoyed this one Dr G. This stuff is so interesting!
Love this case study. Please do the vid of him with his father [right after his father wrote a book about himself- clearly Narcissistic- just watch the vid]. Their body language esp Jeff's trying to move away from the father in his seat, says how the relationship was. btw.. there is a vid with his mother in it also. she doesn't sound well and had someone next to her to help her. I guess at this time it was because of anxiety. but she did have a few documented [mental health] hospitalizations. When Jeff was unalived she tried to unalive herself.
Why aren’t people using the words kill and killed anymore?
@@1953Nan It’s a guess but Aussies tend to use the term unalive.
@@1953Nan Because social media has a problem with it and they'll restrict your account if you happen to get caught.
UA-cam has put in new rules about what can and can't be said. Supposedly certain trigger words will get a vid flagged, de-monetized or pulled. too many flags will get the content creator shut down. It's absolutely ridiculous, I know, but I don't want to be responsible for negatively affecting good content from getting seen.
Good early afternoon!!!! So happy to see a video today!!!
Thank you for showing the person who's face your reading next to yours and then replaying it for us as you explain what to look out for! I find a lot of body language videos don't do that and I was struggling to see the movements they were talking about. My eyes/brain never knows where on their face to look exactly so I miss a lot of stuff.
Not bad. You missed out the passive language he used. Lots of serial killers use the passive voice when describing things. "He was killed." instead of "I killed hin." or "The first killing was not planned." etcetera.
Thank you DrG for amazing interview videos.. you are SPOT ON with it All! Thank you So Much
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dr? So are u telling me you've never had these thoughts?@@drgexplains
Love watching these videos. Thanks for posting.
Have a great weekend.
Thanks, you too!
He completely tested what we know about humanity. He doesn’t seem to truly feel remorse or deep empathy for his victims, more so shame in himself and his compulsion. He’s not delusional, he knows he committed unspeakable acts but he also would have kept going if he hadn’t been arrested. It really shows the dark side of human psychology. It’s an unforgivable tragedy that the families of those men will never be the same because of him.
Dr G I love watching your videos .The lady interviewer was calm and quiet which made him talk more about what he had done.I was neally crying when he talked about eating the hearts i just couldnt believe it .Im so glad he was caught .Thankyou to the police .
I don't think the police need a thank you in this case.
They dropped the ball in more ways than one
The police is not an hero in this story.
Dr. G thank you so much for this evaluation. Love all your work.
I don’t know why I didn’t get a notice for this video😮😢. Thank you for this perspective on Jd
its crazy how honest and upfront he is about it.

Thank you for another great episode
He lived two towns from my campus and I was a student then during this time. My friend knew the family of the first victim😢
its like he is fighting with himself internally.
Super analysis...I learn so much from you! 🎉
how can you deem a man a psychopath from birth without knowing his childhood
the brain
I think about it too.
pay attention ti his hobbies
"Body language experts" by & large tend to read TOO MUCH into every shift of an eye, every twitch of a corner of the mouth, every touch of the face, every lift of a finger. Oftentimes licking one's lips or rubbing one's face is JUST EXACTLY THAT, no more & no less. I close my eyes quite often when asked to give my thoughts about something merely because it helps me clarify my point and cuts down on my rambling.....it doesn't mean I'm being dishonest or I'm trying to manipulate or that I want someone to buy into my fantasy....it merely helps me clarify my language and get to the point. "Body language experts" will tell you that in doing so I'm "self-soothing" or some other nonsense. Scratching one's face sometimes means it itches....breaking eye contact sometimes means my cat is doing something across the room that I need to check on. We've all got to take these "expert" observations & opinions with a grain of salt.
Did Dahmer have empathy? Are people getting empathy confused with understanding right and wrong? Because he shows some insight into his behavior, but I don't really see that as empathy. He comes off 100% as a psychopath to me. (All 0 years of professional training) It's the really low level of emotion that makes me think that .
You are soo smart I love watching your content. Thank you !
I appreciate that!
@@drgexplains :)
He was going to "drug him and spend the night with him" but not hurt him? He was SAing people and taking risks with their health, taking away their autonomy, but to him that's not "hurting". What a dangerous lack of empathy he had...
remember he felt neglected, all he wabted is to fill that void by having them with him forever as pets.
Thank you Dr. G,
you answered the question I was going to ask about Dahmer realizing when he was younger he had urges to do the things he was gearing up to do. My question had to do with him getting help when he was younger, if that would have stopped him to continue on his path. You said he was wired that way. At least he was trying to make it easier to understand how serial killers minds work.
If CPS were around when he was a kid and they knew about his parents toxic environment [yelling, hitting, abandoning him] they would've done something. [I mean he was going to H.S. drunk! clearly, something wrong.] I also think that when he realized that he was gay in a strongly religious and critical environment, it was shameful to him and he tried to fight it.
@@chrisputnam8055his family did not abandon or physically neglect him, other than their marital strife they provided a good home for their children. They were not really religious either, his father was homophobic though and became a fundamentalist much later, when JD was already happily serial killing. Keep in mind that this guy had a younger brother who grew up to become a law abiding and productive member of society. This family was in no way a case for CPS. Also, drinking as a teen was quite normal back then and still is in many parts of the world. He might have been drinking a bit more than the others but he was still fully functional and had no issue quitting for a while when he went for basic training in the army.
Eating a person that's sounds disgusting, he ate someone's heart because he wanted them to be a part of him, it's enough to make you sick.
Worse than a zombie
I read that Jeffery confessed to everything because he wanted to get out of the death penalty...also a family member of mine saw a documentary about serial killers and it said that serial killer's amegdela is messed up and they don't have a good sense of smell...I guess that is how they can deal with those dead bodys.
Yes, the amygdala(located in the center of the brain) in a malfunctioning brain cannot "talk" to the front of the brain(prefrontal cortex). This is why doctors can take an MRI or PET scan of someone's brain and diagnose them as a psychopath or not.
A brain that does not "light up" between the center and front of the brain is a psychopath.
Yes, i heard that too. Not sure if its the amygdala, but i heard sociopaths have a higher tolerance for disgust. Its fascinating, because in order to survive as an animal, you have to have a high tolerance for disgust. Since dogs lack empathy, they have a very high tolerance for disgust, (in fact, they have an affinity for it..they seek it out) even though they have a very acute sense of smell.
Wisconsin hasnt had the death penalty for over 100 years.
The amygdala does not control ones sense of smell; thats controled by the olfactory bulb near the front of the brain.
The amygdala has to do with processing emotions. Very often it is found to be underactive in persons displaying psychopathic tendencies.
The first part isn't true.
Wisconsin abolished the death penalty in 1853.
He couldn't _get out of_ the death penalty because it was never on the table in the first place.
So he confessed to everything for some other reason, and whomever wrote what you read pulled that idea out of their butt.
@@laurenqueenofwolvesnicole he confessed for some reason, but certainly not that he grew a conscience.
I feel if he blamed anything else for his crimes expect for himself, he would be giving away some of that “control” that he so badly craved.
Yes, you are 100% right!
Yes, his exclusive self blaming was definitly a power thing for him.

He is just a fascinating terrifying case study. This video also fascinating!
Because of my curious nature, I am one of those people who’s always trying to understand and figure out why. Especially when it comes to people. This is the brain that I try to get into and think how he would think or try to feel how he would feel, and I can’t do it! It’s an enigma, and it drives me nuts.
He's acting in the 1993 Inside Edition interview. He uses movie lines word for word, passing them off as 'memories' from the comedy horror film written about him in 1992, filming finished July 1992 it was ready for distribution by Sept 1992. Just a tiny sample of what has been found. See the video evidence on The Dahmer Case A Critical Analysis across popular platforms. It's out there.
Good morning Dr G !
Thank you for another great video. I’ll be skipping breakfast this morning 😅
I’m eating breakfast as I watch this, but I probably shouldn’t be!
Like you said, no envy for the interviewer, also mad respect to her. Super brave. I notice her lips are pursed while she’s listening to his responses. I’m not an expert but I do that when I’m listening to somthing I’m trying not to react to. Trying to stay visually judgement free. Good interviewer.
What he did was horrific and barbaric but it is fascinating the way he admits his crimes, goes into deep detail and seems to also want to understand why he was that way too. Not many criminals out there admit their crimes and actively try to assist medical professionals or reporters who want to know the truth of the mind and the why.
If he were more honest, he would have said, "Yes," I don't think he meant, "Probably" at all.
The thing that throws me about him is he does seem to have a sense of guilt, kind of. His using dress dummies for a while makes me think he was trying not to harm people. He wasn’t good at not harming people, but he tried. Idk He always seems honest to me. I think once the jig was up it didn’t matter anymore.
You made me feel less sorry for him. I always have a tiny bit. I think because I really don’t like his father.
I find Jeffrey Dahmer’s dad very interesting, he seemed to be a severe narcissist and started Dahmer on his obsession with dead things when they would dissect roadkill together. My question is, are psychopaths able to have severe abandonment issues?
I think Dahmer did. But I am not sure Dahmer was a psychopath. Not sure about the diagnosis I'd give him.
Makachev showed a new level in his striking game vs Volk.. who do you think he fights next, Dr g?
I wasn't sure about watching this but glad I did. Very interesting and insightful
Great analysis...enjoying these vids 👍👏
wow when he pulled his chin back and said the word skeletons , he put a pressure on the word and looked straight into the interviewer eyes
Thanks Dr. G-Dehmer is just unbelievably difficult to understand😢
So true.. I’d go further and say all manipulators tell you exactly who they are…it’s important to observe & LISTEN. See the message is now my fave go to thought. Fascinating analysis. Thank you 🙏
He fascinates me no end. I think he knows morals, but his urges pushed them all aside.
The witness account of Tracy Edwards on court TV depicts a man possessed by the devil. He had to ply himself with alcohol and work himself up by watching the "the exorcist III" movie and chanting. He would go in an out of being either "himself" or "not himself". He had sold his soul and had no chance to reform, nor did he want to, as he himself admits.
Totally insane behaviour explained like a car manufacturer
His eyes are really terrifying for me.. if he would look at me I would never forget his gaze, I don't think I have ever seen a literal definition of dead eyes. It's worse than the void for me.
He doesnt sound like someone that would do any of these horrible things and that is what is so scary.
Another awesome analysis..
Much appreciated!
He tried to warn you beef prices were going up but no one would listen
When he said his alter/trophy room was a place where he could go to collect his thoughts, he shook his head no rather vigorously. I don't think he wants to say the room was masturbatory.
It's amazing how he is so calm when he is explaining his gruesome crimes in details.
Fascinating video, as always, thanks Dr G.
Great video Dr. G!
One thing I feel about the excuses section, I get the feeling he is only internalizing blame because that’s what the people around him want him to do. The exaggerated tone on “Those are all just EXCUSES” gives me that vibe. I think he is trying to put on a show to an extent, both to a) try to shift blame away from his parents with whom he always had a good (if sometimes conventionally strained) relationship and b) push the narrative that Dahmer wants to teach others about his mental illness to avoid the creation of other similar people in the future.
I think Dahmer was very smart and is being principally considerate of how his legacy will affect his family in his last days. It’s an interesting juxtaposition to Bundy who leading up to his execution simply doubled down trying to blame pornography and other forces (not his parents though) even going so far as to seek out biased interviewers to push that narrative just prior to his execution. Both killers clearly trying to control the narrative of their evil but one is doing it more for his surviving family (hence why Dahmer engages with dialogue without being comfortable) and the other for his own image (explaining why Bundy retains his typical charm and excited speech patterns).
No one is born evil.
They are tho
They are, because destiny exists and pushes our universe
Dr G. You are good at what you do. 🙏🏾🙏🏾i enjoyed your analization.
He looks so normal... which is exactly how he got away with as much as he did i suppose... not sure i would be entirely comfortable sitting in that room though
“Then clarified a misunderstanding that I had and said that most of the gay people do have a steady lover but that he did not. He described himself as “pretty much of a loner in the middle of a crowd”, (in the crowd of other gay men). At the bars, said that he would drink and “scan the crowd”. He did not dance, he did little talking. When asked, he said that he had friends at work but did not go out with them. Did not have any social life, “just the bars and the bathhouses”. Admitted that he was feeling lonely. Agreed that had he had more interaction with people, he might have had less homosexual homicidal urges. This paragraph reflects on his personality make-up. That he certainly has trouble forming relationships. Tends towards social withdrawal. Has what we call schizoid personality disordered traits. Later on in my interview, we discussed that perhaps had he been more into bonding with people, forming relationships, that uh none of this might have happened.”
