Since he targeted teenagers/high schoolers/children as romantic partners using their inexperience as leverage for control, wouldn't that also be indicative of a predatory nature as well as emotional immaturity?
It would definitely be indicative of his emotional immaturity, possibly also his predatory nature - but not necessarily. Predators almost always prey on those they consider to be weak. Weakness could be age related (both young and old), financial, mental, educational, among others. I would agree with you that it's probably part of this jerk's particular predator's mindset, but I believe that his head injury at 14 was at least as relevant. If you are interested in current research and thoughts on brain anatomy, function, and criminality (including biological, genetic, and social/parenting research) I would refer you to Dr. Adrian Raine's book "The Anatomy Of Violence". It's an easily accessible, very complete guide to the past, present, and future of criminal psychology and the research of criminal personalities and brain anatomy.
Dr. Grande, your work ethic is exceptional. You uploaded two videos yesterday, a podcast and Patreon video just recently. In addition, the quality of your reviews is always very high. I have to say that your influence goes beyond the ideas and knowledge you put out into the world but it serves as an inspiration for many of us. Thank you for being always so genuine, and for sharing your insights with us. It’s an honor and a pleasure to be your subscriber. Thank you.❤️
This is mind boggling. The way Joseph murdered people without a second thought, the dog being shot for barking, the child being left behind by his parents, Joseph being shot a whopping 27 times???
I, too, was living in the same area of Baltimore County at the time of this incident. Roads were blocked off, a whole neighborhood was inaccessible and it was really a terrifying, movie-like escapade. The police did indeed miss many opportunities to catch the guy, but I have to blame our lenient justice system. Great analysis Dr. Grande, fascinating to hear the psychological side. Thank you.
There is evidence that head injuries and brain tumors can cause antisocial and violent tendencies. If the ares of the brain that controls impulses are impacted it can lead to personality and behavior changes.
Yes! That’s why I listen to Dr Grandes videos every night before I sleep. I’ve been doing it for atleast 6 months now! I only skip commercial cases like Amber Heard and Will Smith
All those people could have been saved, if only the system had worked. Police, courts and mental health facilities just really flat out failed. So sad for all those victims.
As a clinician, I have absolutely seen TBI’s impact an individuals functioning, impulse control, and personality. I’ve even seen it with a wonderful friend who was so kind previously; but then lost all impulse control and hurt others, could no longer maintain employment, lost her children and ended up divorced. She didn’t deserve any of that, but the TBI changed her forever.
What is wrong with a country that would allow Joseph to mix with the public, to be "on the streets". Good looking guy with money, a grand manipulator. Thank you Dr. Grande for this excellent video.
I'm baffled that this guy was out of jail / mental health facility. It seems as though the rights of the perpetrator trumps the whole of society and I don't understand that
*_You must understand that these poor, poor criminals are the true victims, they all had bad childhoods and they take revenge on totally innocent people for it...._*
Now that you mention it, you're right! It would be okay if it happens occasionally but the fact that it doesn't speaks to the excellence of Dr Grande's delivery.
Please do an analysis of the Rosemary Ndlovu case from South Africa. She killed or planned to kill quite a few people, including family for insurance money, and appears to have zero remorse.
Head injury absolutely is the reason. I also was bitten exclusively on the head for the most of my childhood. I experience rage though I can control it well.
Proof problems would be massive. You would have to prove the accident was the but-for cause. The accident and not some other trauma, or his general environment, or genetics or any number of other things.
Over the years I've read about a lot of people who became impulsive and/or often violent after sustaining head injuries. It's often been said how somebody's personality totally changed after brain trauma. Comedians Sam Kinison and Roseanne Barr are examples of this. On a darker side, killers like Fred West by all accounts totally changed for the worst after a motorcycle accident as a teen.
It seems to me that this sequence of events (head injury followed by criminal activity) has happened in enough famous cases to be something to be investigated so that there is protection both for the public and the individual!
I agree. And taking into account the most popular types of spectator sports, it's worrisome the number of current or former MMA professionals (atleast those who fight in the UFC) and NFL (American football) players who are known for behaving erratically and dangerous or even become abusive to their partners after some time in their professional sport. Especially with the UFC fights (mixed martial arts) I have heard people be upset when hugely advertised fights end in judges' decision (because no one was knocked out). It's also my understanding that because of the way that the UFC is a bit fickle, if you don't return relatively soon and/or keep turning down opportunities to fight, you may not be asked again + fans forget about you. Because of this, the professional who was knocked unconscious probably ends up feeling really pressured to return to fight within maybe 3-5 months, especially if they are getting offers to "redeem themselves" for having lost by knock out previously. I think all of it is a recipe for actual tragedy and disaster.
The most famous example of this in psychology is Phineas Gage. A railroad worker that had a metal pipe go through his head entirely. Should look into it if you haven't heard.

Dr. Grande, I noticed you had many people disagree with you about part of your analysis of the Depp/ Heard trial.

How nice to see how respected you are by your viewers.
Very well done examination and summary.Dr.Grande. The early brain damage definitely played a part but Joseph certainly became a high functioning sufferer despite the brain damage. It is a miracle anyone survived this man's rampage. But there are 27 reasons why. And Joseph Palczenski earned every explanation.
What a shit show of a guy. I can’t believe how lenient the criminal justice system was to him. I worry about what could happen to me if I ignore a jury duty summons! Maybe I should not worry about as many things as I do.
I was in the local area at the time of this event. The police reaction was abysmal. Several times during the standoff, the SWAT team had him in their sights and failed to take the proper action by eliminating the threat. This is after he had committed murder, kidnapping, firing at the police and threatening his hostages with death. It wasn't until some of the hostages managed to drug him and sneak out of the house that they forced the police to take action.
Another back seat driver expert flapping their lips before their brain engages. And with the luxury of 0 responsibility. There were bizarre things about this case, but you acting like the anonymous voice from the crowd shouting shoot him, then running away at first sigh of trouble
It gets me when these judges, like the one you quote at the end, use harsh words and damning language about a con yet don't do anything to punish or minimize the threat. Of course there's sentencing guidelines, but crime after crime after crime...violence, sexual relationships with minors, etc. When does the repeated history factor in enough to give a stiff penalty?
The Justice System does not work. We don't correct Wrongdoers, resolve dispute or educate the public. Criminals worsen, disputes get worse and the public is further divided and confused.
These days it comes from the top - wacktivist, soft on crime District Attorneys. See San Francisco, LA, NYC, and Portland. Judges follow their guidelines.
Morning Dr. G., Your steady, calming voice almost alleviates the horrific nature of these awful crimes. Also, your subtle wit amid the bloody devastation caused by Palczynski as he kidnaps his girlfriend & proposes is low key impressive: “He placed a ring on her finger…asked her to marry him…admitted the timing wasn’t ideal, given the triple murder he just committed & everything.” Thanks for the insightful narration on this Sunday.
"Brain Injury to Standoff": I don't get it. A brain injury is perhaps the most serious injury. And then we wonder why someone is behaving oddly. Richard Ramirez suffered a brain injury. Charles Whitman had a brain tumor. Isn't there any way to recognize that brain injuries cause criminal behavior or other odd patterns of conduct? Clearly this man had no control over his behavior. Joseph was a good looking guy. He was capable of finding romantic partners. But above anything else, he was an expert at standoffs. For this reason I suggest we learn all we can by weighing the significance Joseph found in "the standoff." What does it mean to be in a standoff? We need to get past your average police standoff. Of course we know what that is. Joseph is inside threatening victims and the bumbling cops are outside trying to create a "strategy" to bring the guy down. We witnessed all of this watching Dog Day Afternoon (1975), one of Al Pacino's finest performances. But what is the deeper meaning of "the standoff"? From a metaphysical perspective, we are involved in three types of standoffs. The first is with our own body. This is the case no matter how healthy or fortunate we are because environmental conditions can change and become deadly in moments. Then there is the "standoff" with others. In a dog-eat-dog world where most people see all social transactions as a zero sum game, we are in perpetual standoffs with our neighbors, our family members, and our enemies. Finally there is the cosmic standoff. A cosmic standoff occurs when we realize that we are born alone, will die alone, and will be completely forgotten. Please, manage your own standoffs well. You don't have much time left. Enjoy!😁
Michael - I have been interested in several of your comments. This one also. The human condition, as you say, goes from being born (over which we have no say!) to dying over which we finally have no control either! In between many factors are also out of our control (head injuries, etc.). But most people would still say life is worth living - don't you agree?
Wow, I was JUST thinking about this case, less than 10 minutes before I found this in my feed (I was living in Baltimore at the time, and remember it well).
I will never forget when this happened. I had several family stuff that grew up and went to school with him and they all said it didn’t surprise them. Our school and neighborhoods were all on lockdown. David Myers was the maintenance worker at my husband’s apartment complex. He was killed in front of a friend of ours. This turned the community upside down.
Hey Dr. Grande❣️Thank you so so much for the new video!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate you doctor🙏 As always, your timing is ABSOLUTELY IMPECCABLE! I hope you're enjoying your Saturday. Much love❣️
I don't care how long I was held hostage by a homicidal maniac I am not leaving my child behind. That is unimaginable. And just think what their relationship must have been like after that. "Hey Mom, remember when you left me behind with that homicidal maniac and you and Dad ran for safety? Good times."
You'd be surprised how strong your own instinct for survival really is and the sacrifices it's willing to make. You think you wouldn't leave your kids behind, but you totally would.
@@rightpa I know people well enough to know that your instinct for survival is strong enough that it's willing to sacrifice literally everything else to make sure you survive traumatic and dangerous scenarios. It's called the hierarchy of needs, and physiological necessities are first and foremost. You think you're a good parent, but when push comes to shove, we'll throw babies to save our own skin. We're all still animals.
What a twisted man Thank you for your Analysis You give valuable insight into the mind of this sick scary individual Ten out of 10 stars great video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig Gives me chills
There is a lot of males that I feel that actually have Borderline Personality Disorder that are misdiagnosed with Bipolar, PTSD, or Complex PTSD and yes some of these can have co-morbidity with BPD but many times the BPD is overlooked which does not help with treatment. My ex-husband's psychiatrist told us he believed my ex after treating him for a few years for Bipolar that did a few months sessions with me included then determined he actually had BPD but told us he purposely would not include that diagnosis in his paperwork because "it's too much of a stigma for a patient" meanwhile he neglected to explain the treatment is Dialectical Behavior Therapy which is what he desperately needed. He admitted to us that he never even considered BPD because my ex-husband was a man and mostly women are diagnosed with BPD (I think this is an unfortunate oversight as I personally believe there is more males that fit the criteria then previously thought but there is a bit of bias thinking it effects only or mostly women. Less men seek out therapy in general for one) but when he actually sat down to do couples sessions he began to see the patterns his constant interpersonal problems especially with romantic partners, his black & white thinking, his sudden idealization & then devaluation of relationships including friendships, his turn on a dime mood swings & anger issues, his impulsivity including reckless behavior like reckless dangerous driving or impulsive spending money issues, his fear of abandonment. He did a constant push & pull where he would be wonderful for a few months then start acting cold & distant to the point of acting like he can't stand to be around me then I would either tell him I can't take it anymore I'm leaving or pack a bag. He'd then plea sometimes break down in tears begging me not to leave him or say he didn't want to live anymore if I left and I'd unfortunately stay. And the cycle would start all over again. I thought because he was in therapy that he was working on things but turns out he just mostly got medication without addressing any of his actual issues and never received proper DBT therapy.
Dr.G,do an analysis on Richard Kuklinski aka The Iceman. This guy was a contract killer for the mafia. There's an HBO series on his being interviewed and Phillip Carlo interviewed and wrote a book,called The Iceman. His background definitely played a role into his psychopathology
My husband flew over the top of a car and landed on his head when in medical school. He began having episodes of anger and rage, began drinking, and committed suicide. My son had a friend with CTE and I believe my husband had CTE. My son’s friend died a natural death and everyone was terribly relieved, because he was well-loved but a danger to his wife and kids. Could this young man have had CTE?
I'm so sorry for the loss you suffered. My 1st husband passed away while sleeping ontop of me. So I know all too well how much that loss hurts. However, with all due respect, your hubby having that one single incident wouldn't have caused CTE. A TBI (traumatic brain injury) is what your husband would have gotten. CTE is caused by repetitive blows to the Head. Including people that have constant head trauma such as football players, hockey players ect. A single blow To The Head would not cause a case of CTE. However, everything that you mentioned would still be very possible and present in a case of a traumatic brain injury.
@@Bookthoughts92 ~Your being sarcastic right? Bc otherwise, you've got no idea what CTE is nor what causes it. I'm not tryna be a bitch, I'm simply saying that the statement that we all have sumthin that's off in our heads(like that we're not all 💯% right upstairs) I can totally see & understand that. But the statement you made about all of us having CTE is reallyyyyyy off & reallyyyyy incorrect.
@@Bookthoughts92 ~I thought & figured that u were being sarcastic bc I'm like, there's ZERO WAY dis man really truly believes dat we all have CTE. I really, honesty truly wasn't tryna be a rude bitch, so I really do apologize if I sounded bitchy and/or like a str8 up & down right bitch. I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far🙂
Hello Dr. Grande...always nice to see you. Love your channel. This guy is a piece of work. He should have gotten much more time many crimes ago and these newer crimes would never had happened. Very sad how these bails are so low so they can get out. Where did he want to spend his honeymoon....oh i forgot he had a race car...no police after him. Thank you for your analysis and good looks Dr. Grande.🤔🌷
One of the more compelling stories of taking justice into your own hands. It's suprising how many terror level people are swiftly passed off by the justice system because paperwork is hard and their apathy wins. If a father,brother,or concerned citizen would have ended his moving around on two legs earlier in this animals career the world would have been a better place. Truly a sad story of all parties.
You do such a great job in helping us understand the connection between the criminal and mental illness. You are a great teacher. I have always been fascinated with motives. Have you ever done Gypsy Rose Blancherd? A great study in complex motive. A truly tragic case. Thanks for the great work. Keep it up.
Their actions maximized everyone's chances of survival. Your kind of irrational, emotion-driven bumbling is the sort of thing that gets everyone killed.
It's really sad how a person can be normal one day and then a head injury will change their entire personality. It's like u can blame him but u can't because technically, it's not their fault. This could be anybody and it's scary.... what's even more frightening is that all it takes is a sports car to get a woman to fall in love.
It would be much easier if all these psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors and legal people could just bypass all the diagnoses and just called him a scumbag killer.
Hi Dr Grande , on a rainy Saturday evening I am cozy in bed binge watching you! Why does bipolar get used as a catch all diagnosis for many people with only personality disorders? The entire analysis is cringe worthy for sure Her boss and the husband being murdered the neighbor too!, but the parents leaving their son in the house with him jolted me In a way they should have been charged or maybe the son should have sought representation to sue them when he got older I do not agree with you however they could have grabbed him covered his mouth and ran I’m sure that boy now a man has never gotten over it
Agree about bipolar. But disagree with 'only personality disorders'. They are as valid a diagnosis as any other and need for support. I only hear of borderline pd (aka emotionally unstable - eupd) being mixed up with bipolar diagnoses, as there is symptom overlap, but the patterns of those symptoms are different.
Wikipedia and other internet entries exist on this event. Joseph was a successful body builder, etc. Her earned his own income easily and legally. As a retired social worker, it might be interesting to describe the full creation, treatment and forensic study on these outstanding case histories.
Ooooh you’ve got some critics 😂 Yet we see your disclaimers and they’re wrong. Really love the way your channel is going. I didn’t like you at first. You said something that hacked me off, but I have reviewed my opinion and now subbed. The dry wit inserts are excellent btw. Great to get a laugh along with such subjects. Your methodical approach (which I completely lack) is very helpful. It helps us focus. Quality mansplaining is what we like.... all my personalities agree.
Thanks Dr. Grande. Am I right in assuming that the diagnosis of aspd in respect to conduct disorder. Before the age of ..18 or younger is not at all relative to this case?? Brain injury overrides the Dsm due to trauma ??
What is so weird is that I am from the neighborhood where this guy lived. Essex, MD. One of his victims was a guy I knew from years ago. But it's so strange because me and my friends knew through other friends in other parts of the area knew just about all of the crazy guys. That's why me and my buddies were in amazement, how did we not know about this guy? And he was a psychopath, until he runs into grown men. To me he was nothing but a psychopathic bully. Seen it my entire life. Guys act nuts then as soon as they are confronted by men....all of the sudden it's all over.
Hello, I'm not in your usual demographic of viewers, but enjoy your insights into various cases. Any chance you can look at Greenhow, Fleming and Bateman? Not much on this from 25 years ago but it is very strange.
I grew up in Maryland and if anyone else out there is familiar with these Dundalk, North Point, Essex, Bowley’s Quarters area Baltimorons, none of this surprises you at all.
People like that make it really difficult for me to talk about my bipolar disorder to most people. I’d never go into a rage and say “Sorry, it was my bipolar. Didn’t mean it.”
@@eadweard. That hadn't escaped me. Gordon stated 0%, I was establishing that was not the case. He put no time limit on his 0%; I mentioned but two of the more notorious ones.
This happened in my neighborhood. My family couldn't even stay in our own home because we were that close to where he was
Since he targeted teenagers/high schoolers/children as romantic partners using their inexperience as leverage for control, wouldn't that also be indicative of a predatory nature as well as emotional immaturity?

Once those two school buses collided, was all the rest of it inevitable? Almost seems that way! Scary!😳
@@bthomson , you should listen to another time to understand...
27 times isn't that many for a police standoff. There's usually a bunch of cops magdumping on the suspect at the moment they reach for their gun.
I dare say if anyone deserved to be shot 27 times it was that guy.
@@elchiponr1 Even if their weapons were automatic, isn't that a bit overkill? I'm sure he would be long dead after the first 10 bullets 😬
I know they were upset at their 12-year-old son for letting the killer in, but it’s still pretty rough to leave him behind like that.

my favorite thing about Dr.Grande is that he never says 'um'.
Now that you mention it, you're right! It would be okay if it happens occasionally but the fact that it doesn't speaks to the excellence of Dr Grande's delivery.
Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating on what could be the proper pronunciation of a name like Palczinski.
Lol, pronounce it in Slav accent - is all that matters ; )

There’s a letter Y in there, too!
Yep, given cz in Polish (and other Slavic languages) is pronounced "ch"

Speechless about this classic almost movie plot case. Thank you Dr. Grande for your analysis with mental health factors for this case.
Joseph’s criminal history is upsetting to hear about since he was able to pull the wool over those he needed to. Scary guy.
"We need to get out of here!"
"What about our son?"
"...we can make a new one!"
"Sounds good. Let's go."
Head injury absolutely is the reason. I also was bitten exclusively on the head for the most of my childhood. I experience rage though I can control it well.
Childhood is supposed to be a pretty protected time! I am so sorry that you experienced trauma when you were young! 😓🤒🤕
This is so sad. Its clear that things went downhill after that brain injury. The mom should've won that lawsuit.
Proof problems would be massive. You would have to prove the accident was the but-for cause. The accident and not some other trauma, or his general environment, or genetics or any number of other things.

One of the most shockng parts of this whole story was that they left their 12 year old in the house! Wtf!?
I was looking for this comment. I mean... just... WTF?
They were afraid he would make noise...as if he was a baby! He was 12 for crying out loud!

What a shit show of a guy. I can’t believe how lenient the criminal justice system was to him. I worry about what could happen to me if I ignore a jury duty summons! Maybe I should not worry about as many things as I do.
I was in the local area at the time of this event. The police reaction was abysmal. Several times during the standoff, the SWAT team had him in their sights and failed to take the proper action by eliminating the threat. This is after he had committed murder, kidnapping, firing at the police and threatening his hostages with death. It wasn't until some of the hostages managed to drug him and sneak out of the house that they forced the police to take action.
Another back seat driver expert flapping their lips before their brain engages.
And with the luxury of 0 responsibility.
There were bizarre things about this case, but you acting like the anonymous voice from the crowd shouting shoot him, then running away at first sigh of trouble
It gets me when these judges, like the one you quote at the end, use harsh words and damning language about a con yet don't do anything to punish or minimize the threat. Of course there's sentencing guidelines, but crime after crime after crime...violence, sexual relationships with minors, etc. When does the repeated history factor in enough to give a stiff penalty?
Darn good question! Are all the past charges available to the court? Should be!
The Justice System does not work. We don't correct Wrongdoers, resolve dispute or educate the public. Criminals worsen, disputes get worse and the public is further divided and confused.
Excellent question 👏
These days it comes from the top - wacktivist, soft on crime District Attorneys. See San Francisco, LA, NYC, and Portland. Judges follow their guidelines.
Morning Dr. G., Your steady, calming voice almost alleviates the horrific nature of these awful crimes. Also, your subtle wit amid the bloody devastation caused by Palczynski as he kidnaps his girlfriend & proposes is low key impressive: “He placed a ring on her finger…asked her to marry him…admitted the timing wasn’t ideal, given the triple murder he just committed & everything.” Thanks for the insightful narration on this Sunday.
"Brain Injury to Standoff": I don't get it. A brain injury is perhaps the most serious injury. And then we wonder why someone is behaving oddly. Richard Ramirez suffered a brain injury. Charles Whitman had a brain tumor. Isn't there any way to recognize that brain injuries cause criminal behavior or other odd patterns of conduct? Clearly this man had no control over his behavior. Joseph was a good looking guy. He was capable of finding romantic partners. But above anything else, he was an expert at standoffs. For this reason I suggest we learn all we can by weighing the significance Joseph found in "the standoff."
What does it mean to be in a standoff? We need to get past your average police standoff. Of course we know what that is. Joseph is inside threatening victims and the bumbling cops are outside trying to create a "strategy" to bring the guy down. We witnessed all of this watching Dog Day Afternoon (1975), one of Al Pacino's finest performances. But what is the deeper meaning of "the standoff"? From a metaphysical perspective, we are involved in three types of standoffs. The first is with our own body. This is the case no matter how healthy or fortunate we are because environmental conditions can change and become deadly in moments. Then there is the "standoff" with others. In a dog-eat-dog world where most people see all social transactions as a zero sum game, we are in perpetual standoffs with our neighbors, our family members, and our enemies. Finally there is the cosmic standoff. A cosmic standoff occurs when we realize that we are born alone, will die alone, and will be completely forgotten. Please, manage your own standoffs well. You don't have much time left. Enjoy!😁
Michael - I have been interested in several of your comments. This one also. The human condition, as you say, goes from being born (over which we have no say!) to dying over which we finally have no control either! In between many factors are also out of our control (head injuries, etc.). But most people would still say life is worth living - don't you agree?
@@bthomson life is worth living only within very tight limits
I’m glad you covered this! I lived in the town over from Dundalk, the media buzz was unmatched during this time
Omg I recommended this case a couple months back thank you for making it Dr G!
🪁 Hi Dr.Grande.
I’ve been looking forward to another spectacular perspective on the psyche of us strange humans..
Your top shelf Dr. Grande 🌵.
Wow, I was JUST thinking about this case, less than 10 minutes before I found this in my feed (I was living in Baltimore at the time, and remember it well).
Balanced and fair assessment. Thank you Dr, Grande,
I will never forget when this happened. I had several family stuff that grew up and went to school with him and they all said it didn’t surprise them. Our school and neighborhoods were all on lockdown. David Myers was the maintenance worker at my husband’s apartment complex. He was killed in front of a friend of ours. This turned the community upside down.
I am of the opinion that the legitimacy of the professionals involved in cases like this should be scrutinized.
Hey Dr. Grande❣️Thank you so so much for the new video!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate you doctor🙏 As always, your timing is ABSOLUTELY IMPECCABLE! I hope you're enjoying your Saturday. Much love❣️
I don't care how long I was held hostage by a homicidal maniac I am not leaving my child behind. That is unimaginable. And just think what their relationship must have been like after that. "Hey Mom, remember when you left me behind with that homicidal maniac and you and Dad ran for safety? Good times."
You'd be surprised how strong your own instinct for survival really is and the sacrifices it's willing to make. You think you wouldn't leave your kids behind, but you totally would.
As Dr Grande says unless you're in the situation you just cannot tell how you would react.🤔😓🤕😭💀
@@Buddy330 you dont know me.
@Jay Hess have you ever been in combat and put your life on the line to save others? I know what I'm about.
@@rightpa I know people well enough to know that your instinct for survival is strong enough that it's willing to sacrifice literally everything else to make sure you survive traumatic and dangerous scenarios. It's called the hierarchy of needs, and physiological necessities are first and foremost.
You think you're a good parent, but when push comes to shove, we'll throw babies to save our own skin. We're all still animals.
What a twisted man
Thank you for your Analysis
You give valuable insight into the mind of this sick scary individual
Ten out of 10 stars great video
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig
Gives me chills
There is a lot of males that I feel that actually have Borderline Personality Disorder that are misdiagnosed with Bipolar, PTSD, or Complex PTSD and yes some of these can have co-morbidity with BPD but many times the BPD is overlooked which does not help with treatment. My ex-husband's psychiatrist told us he believed my ex after treating him for a few years for Bipolar that did a few months sessions with me included then determined he actually had BPD but told us he purposely would not include that diagnosis in his paperwork because "it's too much of a stigma for a patient" meanwhile he neglected to explain the treatment is Dialectical Behavior Therapy which is what he desperately needed. He admitted to us that he never even considered BPD because my ex-husband was a man and mostly women are diagnosed with BPD (I think this is an unfortunate oversight as I personally believe there is more males that fit the criteria then previously thought but there is a bit of bias thinking it effects only or mostly women. Less men seek out therapy in general for one) but when he actually sat down to do couples sessions he began to see the patterns his constant interpersonal problems especially with romantic partners, his black & white thinking, his sudden idealization & then devaluation of relationships including friendships, his turn on a dime mood swings & anger issues, his impulsivity including reckless behavior like reckless dangerous driving or impulsive spending money issues, his fear of abandonment. He did a constant push & pull where he would be wonderful for a few months then start acting cold & distant to the point of acting like he can't stand to be around me then I would either tell him I can't take it anymore I'm leaving or pack a bag. He'd then plea sometimes break down in tears begging me not to leave him or say he didn't want to live anymore if I left and I'd unfortunately stay. And the cycle would start all over again. I thought because he was in therapy that he was working on things but turns out he just mostly got medication without addressing any of his actual issues and never received proper DBT therapy.
Dr Amen would be a good source for understanding how brain damage affects us
Dr.G,do an analysis on Richard Kuklinski aka The Iceman. This guy was a contract killer for the mafia.
There's an HBO series on his being interviewed and Phillip Carlo interviewed and wrote a book,called The Iceman.
His background definitely played a role into his psychopathology
My husband flew over the top of a car and landed on his head when in medical school. He began having episodes of anger and rage, began drinking, and committed suicide. My son had a friend with CTE and I believe my husband had CTE. My son’s friend died a natural death and everyone was terribly relieved, because he was well-loved but a danger to his wife and kids. Could this young man have had CTE?
CTE is caused by repeated concussions. You are probably thinking about TBI.
I'm so sorry for the loss you suffered. My 1st husband passed away while sleeping ontop of me. So I know all too well how much that loss hurts. However, with all due respect, your hubby having that one single incident wouldn't have caused CTE. A TBI (traumatic brain injury) is what your husband would have gotten. CTE is caused by repetitive blows to the Head. Including people that have constant head trauma such as football players, hockey players ect. A single blow To The Head would not cause a case of CTE. However, everything that you mentioned would still be very possible and present in a case of a traumatic brain injury.
@@Bookthoughts92 ~Your being sarcastic right? Bc otherwise, you've got no idea what CTE is nor what causes it. I'm not tryna be a bitch, I'm simply saying that the statement that we all have sumthin that's off in our heads(like that we're not all 💯% right upstairs) I can totally see & understand that. But the statement you made about all of us having CTE is reallyyyyyy off & reallyyyyy incorrect.
@@Bookthoughts92 ~I thought & figured that u were being sarcastic bc I'm like, there's ZERO WAY dis man really truly believes dat we all have CTE. I really, honesty truly wasn't tryna be a rude bitch, so I really do apologize if I sounded bitchy and/or like a str8 up & down right bitch. I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far🙂
Hello Dr. Grande...always nice to see you. Love your channel. This guy is a piece of work. He should have gotten much more time many crimes ago and these newer crimes would never had happened. Very sad how these bails are so low so they can get out. Where did he want to spend his honeymoon....oh i forgot he had a race car...no police after him. Thank you for your analysis and good looks Dr. Grande.🤔🌷
One of the more compelling stories of taking justice into your own hands.
It's suprising how many terror level people are swiftly passed off by the justice system because paperwork is hard and their apathy wins.
If a father,brother,or concerned citizen would have ended his moving around on two legs earlier in this animals career the world would have been a better place. Truly a sad story of all parties.
Ooh, perfect timing for a Grande break!
Automatic weapons and adrenaline don't mix well.
You do such a great job in helping us understand the connection between the criminal and mental illness. You are a great teacher. I have always been fascinated with motives. Have you ever done Gypsy Rose Blancherd? A great study in complex motive. A truly tragic case. Thanks for the great work. Keep it up.
You’re the BEST Dr. Grande!
Can you please analyze Jaylen Fleer, San Diego Sheriff ?
Great upload Dr Grande. Keep up the good work.
"They shot him 27 times. Joseph did not survive." Oh man, but, that poor dog two doors away, that was so sad.
I literally live for your videos, our time difference makes me get the notifications late argh..either way let me watch..👋❤
There's no excuse for leaving a 12 yr. Old .one could have ran out and the other stayed. PTL the child was ok in the end
Their actions maximized everyone's chances of survival. Your kind of irrational, emotion-driven bumbling is the sort of thing that gets everyone killed.
Can we get a case analysis of Dr Todd Grande ?
14:38 Fully automatic, AND they have a fire selector, enabling the operator to fire semi-automatic...
Interesting story! RIP 🐕
If you cant see a bus I'm not sure you should be driving !! Thanks Dr. Grande 🙂
It's really sad how a person can be normal one day and then a head injury will change their entire personality. It's like u can blame him but u can't because technically, it's not their fault. This could be anybody and it's scary.... what's even more frightening is that all it takes is a sports car to get a woman to fall in love.
Your comment about police simply not picking up the dog and carrying it outside of the house made me laugh harder than I’ve laughed in years.
It's Grande Time!!! 🌵🌵
They SHOT the dog?! It just never ends, does it?
Where did the money come from to pay for the sport cars ?
Maybe from his mother, who would call his exes and convince them not to press charges against him after he had assaulted them.
Dr Grande, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ❤️
It would be much easier if all these psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors and legal people could just bypass all the diagnoses and just called him a scumbag killer.
Dr. Grande has very expressive eyes and eyebrows during his vids. 🤠💕
Hi Dr Grande , on a rainy Saturday evening I am cozy in bed binge watching you! Why does bipolar get used as a catch all diagnosis for many people with only personality disorders? The entire analysis is cringe worthy for sure Her boss and the husband being murdered the neighbor too!, but the parents leaving their son in the house with him jolted me In a way they should have been charged or maybe the son should have sought representation to sue them when he got older I do not agree with you however they could have grabbed him covered his mouth and ran I’m sure that boy now a man has never gotten over it
Agree about bipolar. But disagree with 'only personality disorders'. They are as valid a diagnosis as any other and need for support. I only hear of borderline pd (aka emotionally unstable - eupd) being mixed up with bipolar diagnoses, as there is symptom overlap, but the patterns of those symptoms are different.
I am diagnosed Bipolar. I am on medication to help control my Bipolar disorder.
Wikipedia and other internet entries exist on this event. Joseph was a successful body builder, etc. Her earned his own income easily and legally.
As a retired social worker, it might be interesting to describe the full creation, treatment and forensic study on these outstanding case histories.
It was the SWAT team that shot the dog. They probably had a suppressed MP5.
Poor dog
That’s hilarious he didn’t want to break the law.
Good evening 🌆 to my Favorite Doctor!🙋🌵🪴🌵🪴🍀 How is everything? Good, hopefully! Thank You! Hello, everyone!💐🍀🌞✨💫
💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏💔🙏 Poor Tracy! How Terrifying! 💔🙏
Hi Todd! Can i ask if you might take a look at the Cherrish Perrywinkle case? Highly disturbing and very sad.
I dont even have a dog, but if I did and somebody shot it, I would be SO DEVASTATED.
Ooooh you’ve got some critics 😂 Yet we see your disclaimers and they’re wrong.
Really love the way your channel is going.
I didn’t like you at first. You said something that hacked me off, but I have reviewed my opinion and now subbed.
The dry wit inserts are excellent btw. Great to get a laugh along with such subjects.
Your methodical approach (which I completely lack) is very helpful. It helps us focus.
Quality mansplaining is what we like.... all my personalities agree.
Out of curiosity, what was the difference in opinion that hacked you off ?
Dr Grande, you're humor reminds me of Bob Newhart.
gunshots are normal in Baltimore (but I wish they hadn't killed the dog.).
Thanks Dr. Grande. Am I right in assuming that the diagnosis of aspd in respect to conduct disorder. Before the age of ..18 or younger is not at all relative to this case?? Brain injury overrides the Dsm due to trauma ??
He was functional in all the areas that would make him dangerous and dysfunctional in all the areas that would make him safe🧡
Could you do a video about Roy DeMeo?
What is so weird is that I am from the neighborhood where this guy lived. Essex, MD. One of his victims was a guy I knew from years ago. But it's so strange because me and my friends knew through other friends in other parts of the area knew just about all of the crazy guys. That's why me and my buddies were in amazement, how did we not know about this guy? And he was a psychopath, until he runs into grown men. To me he was nothing but a psychopathic bully. Seen it my entire life. Guys act nuts then as soon as they are confronted by men....all of the sudden it's all over.
Sounds like NPD and sociopath
Hello, I'm not in your usual demographic of viewers, but enjoy your insights into various cases. Any chance you can look at Greenhow, Fleming and Bateman? Not much on this from 25 years ago but it is very strange.
I grew up in Maryland and if anyone else out there is familiar with these Dundalk, North Point, Essex, Bowley’s Quarters area Baltimorons, none of this surprises you at all.
Why are women so impressed by bozos in sports cars? Why don't they buy their own?
People like that make it really difficult for me to talk about my bipolar disorder to most people. I’d never go into a rage and say “Sorry, it was my bipolar. Didn’t mean it.”
It seems that there’s a pattern of head injuries causing people to become serial killers…
Yea hey all have ASPD they were already sick
I’m getting the feeling that people aren’t really asking the questions grande is answering at the beginning of every video
Justice system, catch and fast release at its finest..😐
He escaped from prison? How is this possible? The prisoner escape rate in the UK is 0%.
Ronnie Biggs? George Blake? I'm sure threr are more ...
@@RadioJonophone Tbf those cases are from more than half a century ago.
@@eadweard. That hadn't escaped me. Gordon stated 0%, I was establishing that was not the case. He put no time limit on his 0%; I mentioned but two of the more notorious ones.
@@RadioJonophone Well when someone says that they mean now not fifty years ago.
@@eadweard. No they didn't. How much time would you include in "Now"?
Hey can you analyze Wayne Williams or
Ivan Hill?
