Episode 110: Done in by a Word Document: The BTK Killer

Psychosocial Distancing

Warning: This episode contains some graphic information and all season we will be talking about some less than savory topics.

Episode 110 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into a continuation of the Year of Clickbait with FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY/PSYCHOLOGY OF SERIAL KILLERS! This Fall we are going to discuss forensic psychology, serial killers, and the worst of human behavior. We are joined all season by Dr. Sarah Tracy, a counseling psychologist who teaches and engages with the study of serial killers.

In this episode we discuss another serial killer, the BTK Killer, a true narcissist and someone who wanted to be renown as a classical serial killer...so much so, that after a long period of time he returned to the spotlight. We discuss his behavior, ties to the Dark Triad, and more in this dive into the psychological understanding of a monster.
