Beyond the ForenPsyches 4: Alexithymia and Criminal Behaviour
Disclaimer: This episode focuses solely on links between criminal behaviour and alexithymia, but does not encompass the spectrum of alexithymia or the significant populations which are alexithymic and non-aggressive. The majority of alexithymic people will have communication differences but are not emotionless or inherently aggressive.
An enlightening episode that places its central focus on the little-known personality characteristic- Alexithymia. The hosts explore the criminal pattern of behaviour among those with Alexithymia. What emotional deficits do they possess, and how do these influence their criminal activity? Do Alexithymics have an aggressive nature that further instigates their criminal behaviour? Do the most-feared terrorists suffer from Alexithymia?
