  • Dr. Park Dietz' explanations are so clear and so good that he is hardly being interrupted during his discourse.
  • Dr. Dietz is actually one of the few experts who kept eye contact with the jurors and made them feel more involved and interested in his testimony. That's important. Also, he is very thourough in his findings and in the way he went about probing Dahmer's whole story. Fine doctor.

    The picture of Dahmer in the dead of night, in a cemetery, attempting to dig up a body, and then feeling afraid because of a dog barking and an owl hooting is comedy gold.
  • Dietz is in the top 3 of most respected and knowledgeable in this area. As a clinical psychologist I studied him for years. He is a brilliant man.
  • Dr. Park Dietz is the most brilliant forensic physiologist ever. I was always in awe of him. I could listen to him for hours on end.

    I am a family physician🤓. I found this incredibly intriguing. It was like being back at medical school in a psychiatry class covering material I haven’t heard to this depth in nearly 30 years🤔. Brilliant. He’s likely retired now. He could have been one of my teachers 💐🎊🥂🎁👍🏾

    This is the best video you've uploaded about Dahmer yet. I really feel like I learned a lot about him.
  • @John-ev3rm
    Park Dietz is an MD psychiatrist with a Phd in behavioral science and a second Phd in social science who I admire for his dedication to the necessary study of psychopaths and sociopaths, the abnormal and criminal pathological behavior that we all find repulsive and hard to think about but he's actually trying to do something about it. God Bless him for his sacrifice.

    This is very interesting. This Dr is so well spoken. I wish I was this well spoken.

    As a psychology student, I found this very interesting and well articulated. I feel that Dahmer's childhood relationships and role models likely also had an affect on his developing personality, especially with attachment/abandonment issues, as well his mother's emotional unavailability during his infancy and his father's attention towards him when gutting fish and showing interest in animal corpses. His mother's own mental health issues and use of medications during pregnancy may have epigenetically also contributed towards his personality disorder. I'm in no way trying to excuse his actions - just giving an opinion.

    I wonder how Jeffrey actually felt by hearing these bizarre things himself from the distance its freaking creepy
  • I love how he explains things so clearly and simply and in detail. He just keeps me riveted and listening - so intriguing! He’s awesome as❤
