Saddam Hussein: The Unconscious Mind of the Butcher of Baghdad--New Tools Reveal What the World Does Not Know‪.‬

Although forensic examiners have a vast arsenal of tools and techniques to use in investigations, all too often they overlook the clues human behaviors reveal, or, at best, they underutilize the clues. Psychological profiling cannot be empirically tested; as a result, many examiners feel such profiling is unreliable. However, there are profiling methods that are testable, repeatable, and verifiable. With 30 years of experience assisting law enforcement and the intelligence community in a very specialized type of profiling, I can say without equivocation that the Goodfield Method has been proven consistently reliable and verifiable time and time again when used properly. The Goodfield Method is based on the non-verbal leak (NVL), which is a repetitive, patterned head-and-neck movement that reflects an individual's unresolved, perceived trauma. This movement manifests decisions or strategies from one's past when the person encountered similar trauma. Based solely on a person's observable behaviors, the NVL is unconscious to the person, yet visible to others; it is testable. It is a way of looking at the unconscious strategies that an individual presents in his or her total non-verbal behavior.
