Über diesen Titel

A husband. A father. A killer.

Chris Watts was a family man. Everybody, including his family, believed that. Yet, on August 13, 2018, he murdered Shanann, his pregnant wife, and two young daughters.

As terrible as his story is, it is also a warning because to this day, living behind bars, Watts is still acting out the character traits that made him kill in the first place.

In this, the first and only psychological exploration of the Watts family murders, psychotherapist Lena Derhally has pieced together the crime, the events leading to it, and most of all, her beliefs about the "why". She explores the childhoods, families of origin, meeting, and early relationship of Shanann and Chris Watts. She also examines Watts's double life and duplicity regarding his well-publicized affair with a coworker.

The audiobook includes an in-depth look at community psychopaths, the different subtypes of narcissism, how to prevent this type of violence, and interviews with a neuroscientist, a criminal psychologist, and a journalist. Using her knowledge of attachment theory, Imago relationship theory, and psychopathology, Derhally draws a profile of the real Chris Watts and - just as important - she warns listeners that he is still a danger today.

Sorry, but in the beginning it sounds like professionals cannot make a diagnose when not evaluated the person itself - but at the end of the book it seems to like exact doing this.

Please stop the eggshell dance about making it not look like 'victim blaming'! There is a whole category named victimology. I think it is important to learn about the relationship dynamic! And everyone with two brain cells and more knows that this is not in anyway Shannans fault she got killed. BUT exactly this dynamic should make people aware of their own relationships!!! Why is my partner constantly doing what I want? Look at C. he did it because he wanted to be looked as a good man but was deeply frustrated about the situation and not admitting it to himself!!
Not everyone who is like this is automatically a narcissist or psychopath, but what I want to say: Take care of people pleaser! Its so easy to 'use' them. Reflect your behavior and ask yourself, would you like to be treated like this?

Stop living the perfect social media marriage! Look into the real world, whats going on?

Good book, good insight. Would recommend it.

PS We all know, he is a people pleaser, so whom
did he please to kill his wife and free children? I hate plea deals! Especially in capital crimes.
