In this video, Dr. G takes a deep look at Jeffrey Dahmer’s psychological profile—what his actual diagnosis most likely was, and how several early assessments were misunderstood or simply wrong. Across the years Dahmer was variously labeled with psychosis, multiple personality disorders, Autism Spectrum/Asperger’s, and OCD, but the reality is more nuanced and clinically specific. Dr. G walks through the diagnostic criteria, separating what fits from what doesn’t, and explains why certain labels—like Schizotypal, Antisocial, or Borderline Personality Disorders—were proposed, how they were evaluated, and which features the clinical record actually supports.
Drawing on Dahmer’s 1993 Inside Edition interview, Dr. G analyzes Dahmer’s own descriptions of motive, planning, and emotional detachment.

While there’s a brief discussion of body language, the focus is on structure: patterns that argue against “he just snapped,” the level of organization that challenges a primary psychotic explanation, and why Autism Spectrum/Asperger’s and OCD—though often mentioned—do not account for the persistent interpersonal cruelty, instrumental decision-making, and targeted behaviors seen over time. You’ll see how specific traits associated with Antisocial features can be distinguished from look-alikes such as Schizotypal oddity or Borderline instability.

Jeffrey Dahmer is one of the most widely discussed figures in true crime history, known for a series of deeply disturbing acts that have been examined for decades in documentaries, interviews, and psychological profiles. His case has become a major point of public interest because of how he spoke openly about his motivations, emotional detachment, and inner world. Dahmer’s interviews, including his 1993 Inside Edition conversation, offer a rare look at someone who was able to describe his patterns and thought processes with striking clarity. His case continues to raise questions about personality structure, early developmental influences, and how clinicians identify specific behavioral and emotional traits that contribute to extreme forms of harm and control. This video explores those psychological elements and what they reveal about Dahmer beyond the headlines.

Finally, Dr. G maps how temperament, and personality traits interacted to produce the long-running pattern we recognize in this case. By the end, viewers will have a clear, clinician-level understanding of which diagnoses were misapplied (including Autism Spectrum/Asperger’s and primary psychosis), which traits are better supported (including Antisocial features), and why precision matters when discussing infamous offenders. If you’ve ever wondered what trained evaluators actually see in a file like this, this walkthrough makes the clinical reasoning plain.
