Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Paul Dawson's JODI ARIAS CONFIDENTIAL: FINAL PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS reveals exciting new insights and analysis of the Jodi Arias murder case. Based on his background as a forensic-clinical psychologist, he exposes the underside of Jodi's personality and presents an in-depth, riveting, and fascinating psychological assessment. Jodi Arias was obsessed and stalked Travis Alexander and viciously murdered him. Dr. Dawson explores and scrutinizes the Jodi Arias & Travis Alexander train-wreck relationship, which spiraled down out-of-control, smashed personal boundaries, and crashed in an orgy of bloody murder. A balanced approach: Was Jodi only evil personified or sin incarnate - a sexy blonde bombshell, a sugar-coated Fatal Attraction psycho? Was Travis a saintly martyr with a halo glowing over him? What was behind Alexander's image as a handsome, successful, devout Mormon? Dr. Dawson avoids the over-simplified black-and-white analysis in books or stories of the Arias-romantic saga to get to deeper angles and sheds light on this dark side, sordid, twisted-murder mystery. The psychological nuances and shades of grey of Jodi's secret life surveyed and assessed, resulting in a new psychological evaluation and diagnosis of Jodi Arias. This book includes excellent photos - a must-read for true-crime buffs or those desiring a more in-depth look at the Jodi Arias murder case.Dr. Dawson earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from The New School for Social Research, Graduate Faculty in New York City.
