Inside the Mind of Jeffrey Dahmer: The Cannibal Killer

Product Information

Parents make excuses, rather than take responsibility for the problems they have sadly heaped on their children. Childhood is where it starts and the outcome is caused by nature and nurture. The parents did not create a monster by design or misdeed, but by an amalgamation of misfortunes. Jeffrey was a very sad person, demonised by his own nature and psyche. He was disturbed by biology and chemistry: life, other people, relationships, chemicals. His mom Joyce Dahmer (Flint) wanted answers. Joyce requested that scientists study her son’s brain to determine if biological factors caused his violence.

His methodology, reasons for what he did & why he did it, his state of mind, the dark, violent fantasies he had since he was a child will always disturb, disgust & fascinate me. the unnecessary reference to George Floyd felt like an attempt to be "current". Objection, relevance?

Perhaps the title is not the best. I don't think we really got into the mind of Jeffrey Dahmer here, but the author did talk about his childhood, his upbringing, his parents’ relationship, his time in the military and those he killed. Unlike previous studies, the researchers used only incarcerated criminals and eliminated any brains with mental illnesses or traumatic brain injuries. Then we move onto the relationship between his parents, conception of Jeff and the pregnancy itself. I have so many questions!

I’ve never read this author before but am aware of some of his other books and I think that this book was a good one to start with. I liked that we delved into Dahmer’s childhood and found some possible triggers from there but also that the author reinforced that not every child that suffers a specific trauma in their childhood becomes a serial killer, as I think it is important that the reader is reminded of this each time.Its all clear was he did it. It overcertainly doesnt Need any selfloving narcisstic Psychiatrist to judge by opinion without unverständig! „. All intersting is said in the First 5 minutes of the Movie. Dharma said „There is an emptiness inside me. And After killing and disposing sbdy didnt give long lasting pleasure or any fullfillment. And i felt the compulsion to do that the next 3 years. Thank you for sharing all of your thoughts everyone. And yes, the fact that we ask why and do not really know is separate to the spectrum of mental health and mental illness. The crimes which Jeffrey committed were horrific and I cannot imagine the pain which he caused to so many people. With that being said, I do believe there were signs along the way that were repeatedly ignored. Sadly the victim did not survive what Jeffrey Dahmer did to them, none of his victims survived,but one potential victim did escape.

They didn't want to get involved due to Jeffrey Dahmer being gay though which is ridiculous, stupid, insulting to his victims, and absolutely disgusting. Not all of his victims were gay, but some of his victims were underage. There were also a few mistakes that made it hard to make sense of a few things, I understand that it has only just been published and there will be a few mistakes (there was a repeated word in a sentence that wasn’t needed) but when it is an obvious mistake with a date (in the Anthony Hughes chapter it says that he was last seen on 24th September 1991 and then 2 chapters below it says that his family were notified of his death on 5th July 1991) it makes for very confusing reading.This section of the book, or in any film or series about Jeffrey Dahmer always infuriates me, it's really pisses me off, I can't even imagine what the family members of the victims felt/still feel now about this now. I can't even imagine, the pain, anger, disgust or feeling of injustice the family members or friends of the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer must of felt at the time, or still feel now. He was living with his grandma for some time, until they became suspicious and cautious of where he was going, what he was doing while he was living there, eventually they asked him to leave. The results were surprising. Researchers found that criminal brains had reduced grey matter with decreased activity in the brain’s orbitofrontal cortex and anterior temporal lobes — the areas which control emotional processing and social cognition. Basically, the brain areas that regulate emotions and empathy toward others were damaged or weakened. Admittedly I have never read this kind of book before so I did not really know what to expect and (currently) have no other true crime book to compare it to.
