The correlation with adoption is interesting but I think it would make more sense that there’s a genetic component and the parents that are unfit to raise their own children also pass along genes to that increase risk of violent and sadistic behavior. I appreciate the research you put into each of these stories rather than just report and give opinions. You seem to be as interested in learning new things about humans as we are and your humbleness and admitting you don’t know everything is partly why your channel continues to grow. You are such an asset to RUclips. 🤗
Annika O'Brien 👍🏻 yes, genetic component Annika and I also believe that these women were not able to stay sober for 9 whole months, drugs, alcohol, bruises, falling down, cigarette smoking....I think that makes a huge difference too, they can cause a looooot of damage to the developing fetus’ brain and all other organs. I’m being pregnant now, so I read deep into it you know each week what’s developing, so I’m amazed each day how we can grow a human being, and I feel even more deeply now how these factors can change the big picture.
i think James Fallon (that neuroscientist best known for doing a study on psychopaths once and "accidentally" finding out that he was one) put it nicely when he used the loaded gun analogy in regards to genetics and violent behavior. genetics are the bullets, and the environment pulls the trigger
Same thing with rapists and anything involving torchuring animals, and pedophile behavior, along with kidnapping. They should say goodbye to their freedom for good.
The way it was explained to me by my criminal law professor: sometimes by the time they are up for parole they are too old to really commit any crimes. And with the over population of prisons & the need for more beds, they will sometimes quietly parole elderly criminals. But parole can be denied too. So yeah you can be up for parole but the parole board can deny it. Depends on the state. In some states Life in Prison is the rest of your natural life and in some other places life is considered 25-35 years because let’s say someone in their 40’s commits a crime, by the time they get out they are kinda old
I've binged watched these for nearly a week now. I think it's amazing how riveting these videos are, given he's just talking at the camera, no cut-aways, stock video, text overlays etc. - not sure if it's a welcome break from. all. the. jump. cut.editing. you see some much these days, or if he's just a really good story teller, probably both? A non-biased, careful comment and admittance to not knowing things is really so refreshing from so much of the internet, I actually find it quite relaxing to listen to. I think I was directed from Jim Can't Swim and That Chapter, as many people are covered by all 3 channels. There is really so much work that goes into these, I really hope he keeps going, although I feel pretty spoiled by the frequency of new content.
The focus on individuals I think really leads in for these basic videos. No need for presentations of charts and graphs. Also I know many feel Dr. Grande's voice is soothing and his delivery is basic and to the point. It makes following the material much easier. For me at least. If he were to discuss mental health topics in general and had comparisons and percentages I think the introduction of visual material would be helpful.
“Usually being a serial killer is frowned upon by licensing boards”. 😍😄. FUNNY beyond belief. 😀👍 I think he should have persisted in his “psychological practice” for at least six clients, before choosing his “serial-killer” profession. He may have become something if he had persisted and not given up as a psychologist. Thanks for the Humor, Dr. Grande, 😀. It made my day. 😂👍😅
Its my monday and I woke up to Dr.Todd with another excellent serial killer analysis, its gonna be a good day. As a ward of the state from age 6-18, I agree with your insight here. Just because our parents are crap doesnt mean we have to choose to be crap as adults. There are so many factors at play in the development of these types of predators that its virtually impossible to choose any one thing as a solid indicator. Its more a conglomerate of multiple factors that can contribute to these types of predators.
Just what a serial killer would say! Seriously, I think it is the reasoning behind why a child is surrendered to the state. If it was done compassionately because the parents knew they could not provide or just felt the child would be better off in another environment then I thinkit is much less likely to lead to psychological problems. If a child is take from the parents due to abuse or neglect there is a higher chance of psychological issues. Not all of course. Just where physical and mental stress combine.
I think it’s like the alcoholic dad analogy. Two twin boys grew up with an alcoholic dad- one never touched a drop of alcohol and the other became an alcoholic- because their father was an alcoholic. Different people have different reactions to childhood traumas & exposure
Dr. Todd, You deserve more subs. I am letting everyone know about this channel. Every video is so well researched. Thank you for providing such excellent content.
Doctor Grande, as a mom of a teenager with reactive attachment disorder, it seems very obvious that he had this as a child. It's not adoption that causes the difficulty, it's the reason why child was adopted to begin with. I would love for you to do a series on reactive attachment disorder. Thank you! Love, love your videos!
it can be caused in infancy which leads to adoption fro. bad homelife. I don't think he or any of us blames people who adopt to help the children. Im glad your doing what you can. I admire that.
This channel is really always a Guarantee for good content. I’m surprised everyday be new facts and knowledge. RUclips seldom makes me feel productive, but this channel is exceptionally good and informative. Great content thanks !👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I watch so many of your videos that my husband now knows your voice. Love your wit because it keeps the normal. Your explanation of these killers, should be known. People need to know. Safety first.
Your comment about licensing boards frowning upon serial killers “mostly because of all the killing involved” killed me! I love your clinical knowledge and obvious skill, I always learn a lot from you. But your dead pan sense of humor seals the deal for me! I love your channel and so do my coworkers in acute forensic psych.
I never think of Aileen Wuornos as a serial killer. She seemed more like a fed up highway robber to me. I always thought Buono was the ringleader. He had those dead eyes. Serial killer eyes. The kind that don't have anything behind them - a minus man. Ironically, Angelo Buono means good angel in Italian. Interesting details there, doctor. Thanks for the insight. I know you get a lot of requests, and I respect that. I'd like to hear your take on Michelle Carter some day, and why she would have talked a young suicidal man into committing suicide. What was her mental blip? Anyway, thank you, Dr Grande, 👍🌹
---Totally agreed, Buono was terrifying the way his eyes were dead. Thankfully Bianchi is such a crummy killer, otherwise I don’t think they’d have been caught.
Dr. Grande, you’re the best! I’m so glad you found your calling with these RUclips videos! I think your true talent would be wasted in sessions and running tests with patients.
Good question..I know from previously working with vulnerable children, bedwetting which continues past the usual toileting age, can be an indicator of a child being abused or neglected. It would be interesting to know the percentage of bedwetting in children who grow up without significant mental health issues as oppose to those that go on to develop severe disorders.
I think it has to do with shame. Normal kids develop shame after bedwetting, providing motivation to stop. Psychopaths do not feel shame, thus couldn't care less about continuing bedwetting.
"It's really one of the few things they agree on...mostly because of all the killing involved. It doesn't facilitate a good therapist/client relationship." Dr. Grande, I'M DONE WITH YOU!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Sammi! When I was 14 years old, I ran away from my home in Los Angeles, California to Copenhagen, Denmark. I stayed for about a week before Interpol caught up with me. Denmark was wonderful. I really enjoyed my brief stay in Copenhagen. Wonderful, wonderful!
I was diagnosed after years with D.I.D. and C.p.t.s.d. I study and for years I went to school but at least now ti makes more sense why I wanted to fix my mother's issues, but I started to see my own. I talk about it on my channel in a few videos as I show my Sphinx hairless therapy cats. So much good mental health behavior and I am grateful. I appreciate the work you do and your channel doctor.
GOD this is funny. huge props... loved this. happy youre doing so many true crime videos as well as diving into 'normal' psychology/mental illness topics. thank you yet again, stay safe + be well!!
Doctor, could you do a video about strategies dealing with injustice and inequity?🥺 I've been struggling with it my whole life and would love to hear you speak about this topic. This was so nice. Your eyes look so tired, doctor. 👁👁
Such a great analysis! Re: Bianchi fooling experts: as you stated, sociopaths are master manipulators; and sometimes, if you're a hammer everything looks like a nail. Humor was on point today Doc. On point. 👏🥂
Hi Doc, apologies for the multiple comments but would it be possible for you to make a video about Dexter Morgan, please, and what may be going on there... assuming you’ve seen the show, of course.
Hi Dr.Grande! Love all of your videos! Just one thing I would like to request... there has been a recent movement to refrain from using the words “prostitution” and “prostitute”. The replacement of “sex work” and “sex worker” has less stigma attached. The terms have so much stigma but often times these women and men have no other choice but to turn to sex work. I even think the word pimp should be replaced with human trafficker as that is what it actually is. I’m not trying to be the PC police, it’s just a thought!
Between these guys and the Moors Murders, and them both kinda following Elizabeth Short's story, I've always been so intrigued by folie à deux cases.. amazing breakdown, as always! 🌹🌹
I met Kenneth Bianchi when I was 26-years-old and working in a store in Bellingham in 1978-79. He was wearing a leather jacket and as I was ringing him up, I said, "I like your jacket." He became suddenly hostile, answering, "Yeah, I'll bet you do. I'll bet you like nice things," in a sneering, disdainful voice. I looked at his I.D., and I never forgot his name. I felt so threatened by him that I went in the back and stayed there until he left. I remember telling my friends that night about the weird guy that came into the store. Whew!
WHEW INDEED! WOWZERS! I know this ep about Kevin Bianchi is 4yrs old (l just discvrf Dr G 2yrs ago- still going back to what Ive missed). Anyway...thx for telling about your run in eith with him. That's GOT TO BE soooo surreal to find out u had contact (in-person , verbal, MEMORABLE contact!) w/ an infamous serial killer. What a massive bullet to dodge- whether knowingly or by the grace of God! Sheesh! I remember that, btw. Even we, over here on the East side of the Cascades, were pretty nervous. Then, of course, there was the green river killer. AND we had our very own monster here, in Spokane; Kevin Coe, the South Hill Rapist. You probably remember him... and that amongst all the women he attacked, was our very beautiful & beloved, local celeb; "Sunshine Shelly". That's who we Spo ppl knew her as... even after she went on to TV news and used her full name "Michelle Monahan". It was just before that that she was "Sunshine Shelly" of our most popular radio station personality (KJRB). What an amazing resilient woman. I assumed she moved to/ hid out in Timbuktu or some such til I moved to Friday Harbor in "91- i was shocked & thrilled to see her working on TV in Seattle. Anyway...just wanted to say "hi" & thx. 🤗
I had to subscribe. I couldn’t stop laughing in the beginning at the dry humor, regardless of the subject material. It’s was just too absurd. Thank you
I'm very glad you addressed the severe manipulative ability of someone with APD. They make it a game, playing anyone from professionals to friends and family. It maintains their false sense of superiority. So few will get helped in therapy, because they wouldn't be in session to receive help, only to pull more wool on someone and get their way. It's a sad existence.
Your Witt is so dead pan and well hilarious Dr. Grande Fascinating observation and refreshing use of your logic and professional attitude , breaking it down on layman terms thank you
Another KILLER presentation! (I have a penchant for corny puns. Lol). Speaking of killer teams, one that has always interested me is the pairing of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. That would be an interesting video....
I want DrG to assess my psychopath brother. His childhood is worse than most of these serial killers and he’s killed people “legally”. These serial killers want to be cops and my brother became one-twice. What has kept him from being considered a serial killer is that he did his killing as a cop & as a foreign contractor. His drug & alcohol issues have slowed him down and undermined his efforts.
Once again your content does a justice to these cases one never gets with other documentaries based on these events . I love how you can break down the persons characteristics and behaviors and in doing so you remind us how in the end these are still just people with faults while at the same not excusing their horrible acts / as opposed to most documentaries that just portray a cookie cutter evil monster cliché. Your thoughts on how the dynamics worked between these two cousins really stuck out . I had never heard or had it explained in that way before. 👍 👌
Interesting take on the Hillside Strangler(s) case. As I recall, in his book about the murders, author Darcy O'Brien made it seem as though the much older Buono was a very dominant alpha male type, and Bianchi followed his lead, in when to kill as well as in when to hold off and lay low. A grim synergy in any case. Thanks for another engrossing video, Dr. Grande!
Great video! I was wondering,what is the differences between a compulsive liar and narcisisstic personality disorder? Because i know that people with NPD often lie to appear superior or more interesting,and compulsive liars often do the same,right?
Bravo analysis! I remember watching a TV movie with starring Richard Crena as the lead detective hunting down the Hillside strangler. The program presented the Buono killer as the one in charge and the Bianci killer as the follower; but it also portrayed both killers as cowardly.
I’ve a request please Dr. Grande.....Betty Broderick who killed her ex- husband and his new wife. Thank you for your great and VERY interesting videos. Understanding to an extent these serial killers makes them a bit less scary.... a tiny, tiny bit. Another duo of killers were the Toolbox killers, particularly sadistic. What makes some killers so sadistic? Thought you might cover them as well.
Ok, I'll bite.... 😉 If you want to dig into the adoption angle, look into trauma's impact on attachment, and the resulting downstream effects on violence propensity. That'll keep you busy. It's ok, though, because you won't be able to sleep, anyway.... 😏
Any chance of a breakdown and overview of William Bonin. In regards to his involvement as a protagonist in the Freeway Murders. I think his mental state is fascinating, another prime example of extreme abuse creating a mind set that grows distant and unaware to those around them. This is my go too channel for in depth and well done overviews of the crimes and those who committed them.
It does not facilitate a good therapist/client relationship...oh boy oh boy - to laugh, cry or die???😅✌️♥️ There are so many golden points, and intertwined subjects here, utterly fascinating! Thank you♥️ I think Bono kick started Bianchi!
Horrifically enough, this man actually murdered one of my mothers friends. The police were absolutely awful to my mother and didn’t even tell her she was going to be identifying a body until they ripped the cover off of the victim.
I remember being so frightened driving home after dark living in the Wilshire/near Hollywood-area back then just as so many other women were during the time of the Hillside Strangler murders. The LAPD even advised people not to stop on dark side streets if a police car tried to pull them over but to drive to a main road or street which was well lit and full with traffic and people. It was a horrible time and place to have experienced.
Doctor, you should speculate as to how you have the same 22-30 or so clowns that give your great videos the thumbs down. You have some exceptional content!
I am enjoying your prolific output, Dr. Grande. I would be interested to hear your analysis of any of the following: James Eagan Holmes, the Colorado theater shooter; Krystian Bala, a Polish intellectual and novelist convicted of murder; Hemy Neuman, sentenced to life in prison (without parole) for murder; the murder of Bob Crane in Scottsdale.
DR GRANDE!!! Please do a video on the psychology behind shallon Lester I trust that you will be able to analyze WHY she is the way she is. Love the vid thank u!
Rejane Oliveira Yea, could be interesting. The Doc has made videos about several fictional tv characters before - Heisenberg/Walter White, Saul Goodman and a few others, think maybe Tony Soprano, though not too sure about the latter. I’ve asked him if he would make one about Dexter but not sure he’ll take requests from me. I did ask nicely though, of course. 🙂
Could you do a video on Stephen McDaniel? He killed and dismembered his law school classmate Lauren Giddings, and was being interviewed by the press about the search for her... when the reporter told him her remains had been found, he nearly passed out on camera! He had been stalking her and they lived in the same apartment complex I believe. Would be interesting to hear your analysis of him, especially since we have so much footage of him pretending to search for her!
That video of Stephen McDaniel. When he asks, "Body?". So creepy. Ken Bianchi did a ride along with an officer and asked if they would drive by some of the dump sites where the bodies of the strangler were.
I've seen the Behavior Panel analyze his interview with the media. It was a telling moment when he finds out her body had been found: the blood drained from his face.
I just remembered this case last night and thought to myself that it would be great if you commented on it. I considered suggesting it to you but I realized that I prefer you to curate your own content. What a serendipitous coincidence.
Thank you Doc! You must be bored because you have been making videos like crazy which I totally appreciate! Are you taking clients through video chat? I am totally appreciating my clients through video chat at this time! My mom is a marriage and family therapist and she is finally getting with the times but I had to teach her. 😆
I always think in those cases, where and on which moment and why a person with i think closter B personality disorder, that is the technical name for it right?, comes to the point of killing with almost no remorse. And who are those who do it psychologically, little by little, without leaving almost no traces. All of those thoughts i have them because i believe we have to do much more to make this world a better and safer place, and studying the why s can lead to a better educational insight and i think this is the aspect where we mostly have to invest. Even if we have learned a lot already since psychology has started, and that is sooo gooddd, a lot is also still to be discovered. One point i think about here is that the loss of fear and shame might be the last human crumbles that lead to crossing this line. Several ill individuals i ve come across in my life, in their agressive modes, seem to kind of control the line by saying either, "i am not bad" or " i can do better" whilst almost not controlling their unpredictable behaviour. I know i am not a professional, i just want to express my point of view, based on my life experiences. Thanks for your soo professional approach. I am learning a lot by listening to your videos.
It seems that many killers/psychopaths have high IQ ratings. I'd like to know if the differences in brain function which allows for higher intelligence impinges on the moralistic portion of thinking for these people. It seems that many very highly intelligent people also suffer from mental issues and are at least restricted in social interaction. Or is it that highly intelligent people are just better at planning and getting away with the killings?
These criminal personality and mental health analyses of Dr. Grande's astound me every single time!!!! Adopted guy with a head injury and a penchant for lying. Dang! What a tangled web this killer wove with his behavior! Thank you, Dr. Grande. Oh, and BTW,... on that remark about serial killers not being licensed counselors,.... BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
Just found your channel and really enjoying it already. Would really be interested in hearing your insight into Aaron Hernandez, if you haven't already done a video about him.
Funny, funnier and funniest!😆 I almost died laughing at the comment regarding the therapist-patient relationship being problematic because of all the killing involved!🤭🤭😆😂🤣🤣😂👍
"[serial killers] have trouble talking to women or relating to women." yo, Rodney Alcala was on a dating game show. in the middle of his murder spree. and he won 0_o
I've recently stumbled on medcircle on utube. (The psychologist has not got the puns & deadpan delivery of Dr Grande though 😆). She did a good video on the differences, and overlaps, of psychopathy & sociopathy. She said if someone is full of compliments, say in a bar, then she is out of there by the 3rd compliment because of how manipulative & charming these people can be & it's a red flag. I think those first instincts of disliking or being uncomfortable on meeting someone new, are important but we tend to ignore them. I have done in my past & learned the hard way!
Another excellent examination. So he was examined by experts. Those hired by the defence found him mad as a hatter so he should not be punished. Those hired by the prosecution found him sane and deserving of punishment. The finest specialists that money can buy.
Dr. Grande, is there a correlation between rejection and serial killers? It seems to be a commonality amongst many of them. Its interesting that you brought up adoption. I can see how feelings of rejection would stem from that. Another fantastic video, once again. I really look forward to my mornings :)
First of all, love Dr. Grande's sense of humor. Secondly, has he done a video on the bedwetting/psychopathy link because I find that very interesting and don't fully understand the connection. From what I've found online seems to be a good deal of disagreement on the issue.
My guess would be that, rather than either emerging from the other, both emerge from some other precipitating trauma. (In working with teens with abuse history, these appeared to be connected -- to the extent that we were able to tell - ?)
This is such an interesting case. This might sound very basic, but I liken Bianchi and Buono to workplace situations where people are influenced by one another in unhealthy ways - like over drinking, over eating or engaging in workplace bullying. On their own, the individuals might not get as out of control as they would when connected to other individuals who engage in such behavior. Thank you for pointing out how manipulative narcissists are and how anyone can be fooled by one.
The correlation with adoption is interesting but I think it would make more sense that there’s a genetic component and the parents that are unfit to raise their own children also pass along genes to that increase risk of violent and sadistic behavior. I appreciate the research you put into each of these stories rather than just report and give opinions. You seem to be as interested in learning new things about humans as we are and your humbleness and admitting you don’t know everything is partly why your channel continues to grow. You are such an asset to RUclips. 🤗
There also might be things going on before the birth parents relinquish custody.
Annika O'Brien 👍🏻 yes, genetic component Annika and I also believe that these women were not able to stay sober for 9 whole months, drugs, alcohol, bruises, falling down, cigarette smoking....I think that makes a huge difference too, they can cause a looooot of damage to the developing fetus’ brain and all other organs. I’m being pregnant now, so I read deep into it you know each week what’s developing, so I’m amazed each day how we can grow a human being, and I feel even more deeply now how these factors can change the big picture.
Interesting thought, i'd think it's probably both.
This, early (pre-speech) abuse, neglect, having been born addicted, etc. possible?
i think James Fallon (that neuroscientist best known for doing a study on psychopaths once and "accidentally" finding out that he was one) put it nicely when he used the loaded gun analogy in regards to genetics and violent behavior. genetics are the bullets, and the environment pulls the trigger
I don’t understand how serial killers are ever given the possibility of parole??
I don’t either
Perhaps failure to provide for "possible" parole is considered unconstitutional. Such as inhumane treatment. They just never allow it in practice.
It is because of anti-social personality disorder in JUDGES.
Same thing with rapists and anything involving torchuring animals, and pedophile behavior, along with kidnapping. They should say goodbye to their freedom for good.
The way it was explained to me by my criminal law professor: sometimes by the time they are up for parole they are too old to really commit any crimes. And with the over population of prisons & the need for more beds, they will sometimes quietly parole elderly criminals. But parole can be denied too.

In some states Life in Prison is the rest of your natural life and in some other places life is considered 25-35 years because let’s say someone in their 40’s commits a crime, by the time they get out they are kinda old
I just realised just how funny this man actually is. He is so dry, it's easy to miss the constant wit.
Sometimes I'll actually think he's serious (when he isn't), and then go, "Oh, I see what he did there. Ha!"
I loooove his humour 🤣
"Usually being a serial killer is frowned upon by licensing boards" *rofl*
This is why I love Dr. Grande so much. Always get a good chuckle from his dry humor.
His has a great sence of humour! Hahaha, the way he delivers it... 👍🏼
I've binged watched these for nearly a week now. I think it's amazing how riveting these videos are, given he's just talking at the camera, no cut-aways, stock video, text overlays etc. - not sure if it's a welcome break from. all. the. jump. cut.editing. you see some much these days, or if he's just a really good story teller, probably both?

@Black Weirdo I started few months into the pandemic, just love it. I do clean my house while listening, he is amazing.
I was just thinking the same thing, that watching these videos about murder are so much more relaxing than, say, current events.
I binge watch That Chapter too!
I know right!!!!!!
“Usually being a serial killer is frowned upon by licensing boards”. 😍😄.
FUNNY beyond belief. 😀👍
I think he should have persisted in his “psychological practice” for at least six clients, before choosing his “serial-killer” profession. He may have become something if he had persisted and not given up as a psychologist.
Thanks for the Humor, Dr. Grande, 😀. It made my day. 😂👍😅
Only usually??
The Pennsylvania medical board made an exception for Kermit Gosnell.
I know. Isn't he funny?!?!?!
But they dident know he was at the time.
Haha said with 😐
Yes that whole killing thing could be a slight barrier to good therapy....😂I saw u chuckle Dr Grande 👍💟🌻
That was his belly laugh mode.
Thanks for these constant uploads, they certainly alleviate the boredom of lockdown

---Totally agreed, Buono was terrifying the way his eyes were dead. Thankfully Bianchi is such a crummy killer, otherwise I don’t think they’d have been caught.
That licencing board riff was great- humor so dry you can hear leaves crunch underneath. Good stuff as always Dr G
Dr. Grande, you’re the best! I’m so glad you found your calling with these RUclips videos! I think your true talent would be wasted in sessions and running tests with patients.
I love that your personality is coming through. Especially the dry snark. Love it.
Very interesting very video. Thank you! Wondering if u could do a video on Marc Dutroux.
Why do serial killers often wet their beds as children? I've heard it many times but never why.
Is it anxiety or a form of PTSD?
Good question..I know from previously working with vulnerable children, bedwetting which continues past the usual toileting age, can be an indicator of a child being abused or neglected. It would be interesting to know the percentage of bedwetting in children who grow up without significant mental health issues as oppose to those that go on to develop severe disorders.
I think it has to do with shame. Normal kids develop shame after bedwetting, providing motivation to stop. Psychopaths do not feel shame, thus couldn't care less about continuing bedwetting.
Dr. Grande your wit is really the only time I actually lol watching RUclips videos. Keep us laughing and learning!

Love your videos! Much love from Denmark 🇩🇰🙏🏼❤️ very interesting perspectives and topics
Hi Sammi! When I was 14 years old, I ran away from my home in Los Angeles, California to Copenhagen, Denmark. I stayed for about a week before Interpol caught up with me. Denmark was wonderful. I really enjoyed my brief stay in Copenhagen. Wonderful, wonderful!
I was diagnosed after years with D.I.D. and C.p.t.s.d. I study and for years I went to school but at least now ti makes more sense why I wanted to fix my mother's issues, but I started to see my own. I talk about it on my channel in a few videos as I show my Sphinx hairless therapy cats. So much good mental health behavior and I am grateful. I appreciate the work you do and your channel doctor.
possible video topic suggestion: the central park jogger case. thank you for all your hard work !
boca: Oh, YES! That’s an _excellent_ suggestion!
GOD this is funny. huge props... loved this. happy youre doing so many true crime videos as well as diving into 'normal' psychology/mental illness topics. thank you yet again, stay safe + be well!!
Doctor, could you do a video about strategies dealing with injustice and inequity?🥺 I've been struggling with it my whole life and would love to hear you speak about this topic. This was so nice.
Your eyes look so tired, doctor. 👁👁
I am going to watched again, didn't notice his eyes, I usually just listen.
Such a great analysis! Re: Bianchi fooling experts: as you stated, sociopaths are master manipulators; and sometimes, if you're a hammer everything looks like a nail. Humor was on point today Doc. On point. 👏🥂
My father was a LAPD detective on this case and was put on a think tank to help solve it.
Wow
Very interesting.
Hi Doc, apologies for the multiple comments but would it be possible for you to make a video about Dexter Morgan, please, and what may be going on there... assuming you’ve seen the show, of course.
Dr. Grande is so witty! This is an awesome video. Good discussion of DID.
Really appreciate it - was hoping you would cover Ken Bianchi!
Your sense of humour is a delight!
One of his lies was undoubtedly: "It wasn't me, it was the one-armed man!!"
Wow I can't even imagine I love the wit, about having your previous psychologist being a serial killer wow you're killing it today
Hi Dr.Grande! Love all of your videos! Just one thing I would like to request... there has been a recent movement to refrain from using the words “prostitution” and “prostitute”. The replacement of “sex work” and “sex worker” has less stigma attached. The terms have so much stigma but often times these women and men have no other choice but to turn to sex work.
I even think the word pimp should be replaced with human trafficker as that is what it actually is.
I’m not trying to be the PC police, it’s just a thought!
I've read about this case extensively but you have details that I didn't know. good video
Another on POINT analysis..thankyou Dr Grande
Between these guys and the Moors Murders, and them both kinda following Elizabeth Short's story, I've always been so intrigued by folie à deux cases.. amazing breakdown, as always! 🌹🌹
This is such a good one Doctor! Love it!!! Thank you xox
I met Kenneth Bianchi when I was 26-years-old and working in a store in Bellingham in 1978-79. He was wearing a leather jacket and as I was ringing him up, I said, "I like your jacket." He became suddenly hostile, answering, "Yeah, I'll bet you do. I'll bet you like nice things," in a sneering, disdainful voice. I looked at his I.D., and I never forgot his name. I felt so threatened by him that I went in the back and stayed there until he left. I remember telling my friends that night about the weird guy that came into the store. Whew!
WHEW INDEED! WOWZERS!
I know this ep about Kevin Bianchi is 4yrs old (l just discvrf Dr G 2yrs ago- still going back to what Ive missed). Anyway...thx for telling about your run in eith with him. That's GOT TO BE soooo surreal to find out u had contact (in-person , verbal, MEMORABLE contact!) w/ an infamous serial killer. What a massive bullet to dodge- whether knowingly or by the grace of God! Sheesh!
I remember that, btw. Even we, over here on the East side of the Cascades, were pretty nervous. Then, of course, there was the green river killer. AND we had our very own monster here, in Spokane; Kevin Coe, the South Hill Rapist. You probably remember him... and that amongst all the women he attacked, was our very beautiful & beloved, local celeb; "Sunshine Shelly". That's who we Spo ppl knew her as... even after she went on to TV news and used her full name "Michelle Monahan". It was just before that that she was "Sunshine Shelly" of our most popular radio station personality (KJRB).
What an amazing resilient woman. I assumed she moved to/ hid out in Timbuktu or some such til I moved to Friday Harbor in "91- i was shocked & thrilled to see her working on TV in Seattle. Anyway...just wanted to say "hi" & thx. 🤗
I had to subscribe. I couldn’t stop laughing in the beginning at the dry humor, regardless of the subject material. It’s was just too absurd. Thank you
Thank you, Dr Grande. Another horror story that I remember from time spent in California. Please take care of yourself.
I'm very glad you addressed the severe manipulative ability of someone with APD. They make it a game, playing anyone from professionals to friends and family. It maintains their false sense of superiority. So few will get helped in therapy, because they wouldn't be in session to receive help, only to pull more wool on someone and get their way. It's a sad existence.
Your Witt is so dead pan and well hilarious
Dr. Grande
Fascinating observation and refreshing use of your logic and professional attitude , breaking it down on layman terms thank you
I appreciate all the work you put into your educational and humorous videos! Spot on!
Another KILLER presentation! (I have a penchant for corny puns. Lol). Speaking of killer teams, one that has always interested me is the pairing of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng. That would be an interesting video....
Dr Grande you are great : Multiple personality disorder now DID divides the mental health community
I want DrG to assess my psychopath brother. His childhood is worse than most of these serial killers and he’s killed people “legally”. These serial killers want to be cops and my brother became one-twice. What has kept him from being considered a serial killer is that he did his killing as a cop & as a foreign contractor. His drug & alcohol issues have slowed him down and undermined his efforts.
Would love to hear you cover the Richard Chase murders and his psychological profile
Once again your content does a justice to these cases one never gets with other documentaries based on these events . I love how you can break down the persons characteristics and behaviors and in doing so you remind us how in the end these are still just people with faults while at the same not excusing their horrible acts / as opposed to most documentaries that just portray a cookie cutter evil monster cliché. Your thoughts on how the dynamics worked between these two cousins really stuck out . I had never heard or had it explained in that way before. 👍 👌
Thanks Dr. G always love when I get your notification! 😉
Interesting take on the Hillside Strangler(s) case. As I recall, in his book about the murders, author Darcy O'Brien made it seem as though the much older Buono was a very dominant alpha male type, and Bianchi followed his lead, in when to kill as well as in when to hold off and lay low. A grim synergy in any case. Thanks for another engrossing video, Dr. Grande!
Great video! I was wondering,what is the differences between a compulsive liar and narcisisstic personality disorder? Because i know that people with NPD often lie to appear superior or more interesting,and compulsive liars often do the same,right?
Bravo analysis! I remember watching a TV movie with starring Richard Crena as the lead detective hunting down the Hillside strangler. The program presented the Buono killer as the one in charge and the Bianci killer as the follower; but it also portrayed both killers as cowardly.
Bianchi was not very convincing at all to police about his "split personalities" from what I can remember.
I’ve a request please Dr. Grande.....Betty Broderick who killed her ex- husband and his new wife. Thank you for your great and VERY interesting videos. Understanding to an extent these serial killers makes them a bit less scary.... a tiny, tiny bit. Another duo of killers were the Toolbox killers, particularly sadistic. What makes some killers so sadistic? Thought you might cover them as well.
Good one !
I'm a simple guy. I see a new Dr. Grande video, then I leave a comment to generate interesting discussion.
Ok, I'll bite.... 😉 If you want to dig into the adoption angle, look into trauma's impact on attachment, and the resulting downstream effects on violence propensity. That'll keep you busy. It's ok, though, because you won't be able to sleep, anyway.... 😏
😂 you absolutely kill me! Thanks for putting out yet another top notch video on the dark stuff we've grown accustomed to!
It truly is discouraging to realize he fooled all those experts, as opposed to those of us who struggle for real.
Awesome dry sense of homour. Love it!
Great channel Doc
Any chance of a breakdown and overview of William Bonin. In regards to his involvement as a protagonist in the Freeway Murders. I think his mental state is fascinating, another prime example of extreme abuse creating a mind set that grows distant and unaware to those around them. This is my go too channel for in depth and well done overviews of the crimes and those who committed them.
It does not facilitate a good therapist/client relationship...oh boy oh boy - to laugh, cry or die???😅✌️♥️
There are so many golden points, and intertwined subjects here, utterly fascinating! Thank you♥️
I think Bono kick started Bianchi!
Best 20 min of everyday. Thanks Dr. Grande!
Would love to hear the OJ analysis.
Horrifically enough, this man actually murdered one of my mothers friends. The police were absolutely awful to my mother and didn’t even tell her she was going to be identifying a body until they ripped the cover off of the victim.
I remember being so frightened driving home after dark living in the Wilshire/near Hollywood-area back then just as so many other women were during the time of the Hillside Strangler murders. The LAPD even advised people not to stop on dark side streets if a police car tried to pull them over but to drive to a main road or street which was well lit and full with traffic and people. It was a horrible time and place to have experienced.
Well Ilustrated, You Are Precise, Well knowledge Interpretation of The Situation.
Dr. Grande needs to do a mental health & personality analysis of Dr. Grande.
I adopted a teenage boy and while he has demonstrated a number of behavior problems, he is not a killer.
Doctor, you should speculate as to how you have the same 22-30 or so clowns that give your great videos the thumbs down. You have some exceptional content!
I am enjoying your prolific output, Dr. Grande. I would be interested to hear your analysis of any of the following: James Eagan Holmes, the Colorado theater shooter; Krystian Bala, a Polish intellectual and novelist convicted of murder; Hemy Neuman, sentenced to life in prison (without parole) for murder; the murder of Bob Crane in Scottsdale.
DR GRANDE!!! Please do a video on the psychology behind shallon Lester I trust that you will be able to analyze WHY she is the way she is. Love the vid thank u!
Dr Grande, Don't you think it's time for some MERCH GIVEAWAYS? Maybe a contest?
Dexter was adopted at a young age too, Doc. Interesting! 🙂
D.B. Cooper - Good observation. 👍🏼
I wish he could analyze Dexter but that’s an older show and I am not sure how many people actually watched it.
Rejane Oliveira
Yea, could be interesting. The Doc has made videos about several fictional tv characters before - Heisenberg/Walter White, Saul Goodman and a few others, think maybe Tony Soprano, though not too sure about the latter. I’ve asked him if he would make one about Dexter but not sure he’ll take requests from me. I did ask nicely though, of course. 🙂
D.B. Cooper - It is always good to ask nicely.😄
Let’s hope🤞🏼
Could you do a video on Stephen McDaniel? He killed and dismembered his law school classmate Lauren Giddings, and was being interviewed by the press about the search for her... when the reporter told him her remains had been found, he nearly passed out on camera! He had been stalking her and they lived in the same apartment complex I believe. Would be interesting to hear your analysis of him, especially since we have so much footage of him pretending to search for her!
That video of Stephen McDaniel. When he asks, "Body?". So creepy. Ken Bianchi did a ride along with an officer and asked if they would drive by some of the dump sites where the bodies of the strangler were.
I've seen the Behavior Panel analyze his interview with the media. It was a telling moment when he finds out her body had been found: the blood drained from his face.
I just remembered this case last night and thought to myself that it would be great if you commented on it. I considered suggesting it to you but I realized that I prefer you to curate your own content. What a serendipitous coincidence.
I got it, Dr. Grande. Thank you.
Dr Grande I would just love your analysis of Mark "Chopper" Read. Pretty fascinating character.
Thank you Doc! You must be bored because you have been making videos like crazy which I totally appreciate! Are you taking clients through video chat? I am totally appreciating my clients through video chat at this time! My mom is a marriage and family therapist and she is finally getting with the times but I had to teach her. 😆
I always think in those cases, where and on which moment and why a person with i think closter B personality disorder, that is the technical name for it right?, comes to the point of killing with almost no remorse.
And who are those who do it psychologically, little by little, without leaving almost no traces.
All of those thoughts i have them because i believe we have to do much more to make this world a better and safer place, and studying the why s can lead to a better educational insight and i think this is the aspect where we mostly have to invest.
Even if we have learned a lot already since psychology has started, and that is sooo gooddd, a lot is also still to be discovered.
One point i think about here is that the loss of fear and shame might be the last human crumbles that lead to crossing this line. Several ill individuals i ve come across in my life, in their agressive modes, seem to kind of control the line by saying either, "i am not bad" or " i can do better" whilst almost not controlling their unpredictable behaviour.
I know i am not a professional, i just want to express my point of view, based on my life experiences.
Thanks for your soo professional approach. I am learning a lot by listening to your videos.
It seems that many killers/psychopaths have high IQ ratings. I'd like to know if the differences in brain function which allows for higher intelligence impinges on the moralistic portion of thinking for these people. It seems that many very highly intelligent people also suffer from mental issues and are at least restricted in social interaction. Or is it that highly intelligent people are just better at planning and getting away with the killings?
There are a seemingly disproportionate number of violent crimes in Rochester! Can you please do Arthur Shawcross?
These criminal personality and mental health analyses of Dr. Grande's astound me every single time!!!! Adopted guy with a head injury and a penchant for lying. Dang! What a tangled web this killer wove with his behavior! Thank you, Dr. Grande. Oh, and BTW,... on that remark about serial killers not being licensed counselors,.... BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
What a lovely reward for adopting.
Thank you 😘 Dr.Grande you are getting me through this x
Just found your channel and really enjoying it already. Would really be interested in hearing your insight into Aaron Hernandez, if you haven't already done a video about him.
Who's Afraid of Erik Nørding? - He did already. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/6AaW1l52I18/видео.html
Funny, funnier and funniest!😆 I almost died laughing at the comment regarding the therapist-patient relationship being problematic because of all the killing involved!🤭🤭😆😂🤣🤣😂👍
I really enjoy this channel, & congratulations on your 300K milestone, keep up the excellent work!🎉🎉🙂
"[serial killers] have trouble talking to women or relating to women."
yo, Rodney Alcala was on a dating game show. in the middle of his murder spree. and he won 0_o
She refused to actually go out on a date with him after meeting him.
@@multuminparvo5 yeah, she got bad vibes from him. no idea why hahaha
Ted Bundy was a charmer too, but they’re the exceptions.
That's the shallow charm we hear about. He only needed to be charming for the length of the filming.
I've recently stumbled on medcircle on utube. (The psychologist has not got the puns & deadpan delivery of Dr Grande though 😆). She did a good video on the differences, and overlaps, of psychopathy & sociopathy. She said if someone is full of compliments, say in a bar, then she is out of there by the 3rd compliment because of how manipulative & charming these people can be & it's a red flag. I think those first instincts of disliking or being uncomfortable on meeting someone new, are important but we tend to ignore them. I have done in my past & learned the hard way!
Another excellent examination. So he was examined by experts. Those hired by the defence found him mad as a hatter so he should not be punished. Those hired by the prosecution found him sane and deserving of punishment. The finest specialists that money can buy.
Dr. Grande, is there a correlation between rejection and serial killers? It seems to be a commonality amongst many of them. Its interesting that you brought up adoption. I can see how feelings of rejection would stem from that.
Another fantastic video, once again. I really look forward to my mornings :)
Being treated for tics, I'm not sure how one would go about doing that?
Excellent analysis, thank you!
Great video Dr Grande.
Interesting and informative
OMG the part about serial killers and licensing boards!!!
First of all, love Dr. Grande's sense of humor. Secondly, has he done a video on the bedwetting/psychopathy link because I find that very interesting and don't fully understand the connection. From what I've found online seems to be a good deal of disagreement on the issue.
Yes, I'm also interested in this issue,
Dr. Grande 😃🇳🇱
My guess would be that, rather than either emerging from the other, both emerge from some other precipitating trauma. (In working with teens with abuse history, these appeared to be connected -- to the extent that we were able to tell - ?)
@@tuck-brainwks-eutent-hidva1098 Ahhh, ok, I see what you're saying. That makes a lot of sense, hadn't thought about it that way, thank you.
This is such an interesting case. This might sound very basic, but I liken Bianchi and Buono to workplace situations where people are influenced by one another in unhealthy ways - like over drinking, over eating or engaging in workplace bullying. On their own, the individuals might not get as out of control as they would when connected to other individuals who engage in such behavior. Thank you for pointing out how manipulative narcissists are and how anyone can be fooled by one.
That's a good point -- I don't think it sounds "basic".
Can you give your analysis of Amberlynn Reid and the community that critiques her
yikes. i had never heard of this person, so did a quick google. now i feel dirty.
Amber Lynn is a Karen the people poking critiquing are Karen’s . It’s a case of all normal people moved on so it’s Karen against Karen
I would looove to see a video on that
Ew no
