On the other hand we examine graphology, a field that, like the Meyers-Briggs, just isn't valid in modern psychology but is still used today.

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 different antecedents that lead to serial killers to be who they are. There aren't any specific conclusions but a number a different factors that lead to a perfect storm. Head trauma, the MAOA warrior “gene”, social difference, lead in the atmosphere, sexual repression, and much much more are mused upon in trying to pin down what might cause this behavior and the nature of the US producing more serial killers than any other country.

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 try and get back into the grove of doing a podcast after last semester.
