Inside the Mind of the Mind Hunter: An Interview with Legendary FBI Agent John Douglas: Criminal Profiler John Douglas Will Share His Understanding of the Criminal Mind at September's APA Conference (Interview‪)‬

John Douglas, former head of the FBI's Investigative Support Unit, has hunted some of the most notorious and sadistic criminals of our time: the "trailside killer" in San Francisco, the "Atlanta child murderer," the "Tylenol poisoner," the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, and a case that nearly ended his own life--Seattle's "Green River Killer." Despite the FBI's original lack of support and attempts to ignore his pioneering techniques and methods, he developed the first psychological profile of the Unabomber. He confronted, interviewed, and studied dozens of serial killers and assassins--including Charles Manson, Sirhan Sirhan, Richard Speck, John Wayne Gacy, David Berkowitz (Son of Sam), and James Earl Ray--to understand their motives and get inside their minds.
