@@ritabn8910 yes, but severe trauma can affect one person in an innocuous, non-violent way and lesser trauma can affect another person in an explosively violent way. Our brain chemistry and wiring are affected differently by different stimuli. For example, my mother has a long history of severe anxiety and depression, my father does not at all. When my brother and I experienced severe trauma throughout childhood, I developed PTSD, crippling anxiety and depression. He has never suffered from any mental illness and has always thrived. We both were subjected to the exact same environment and trauma, yet due to our different inherited genes, my ‘gun’ was loaded, his was not, so when the ‘triggers’ were pulled, the results were vastly different. It’s fascinating, really, when you see the effects of inherited genes so overtly. There are also instances in violent offenders where parts of their brains like the hippocampus or amygdala have been damaged by physical trauma or substance abuse or they were born with them underdeveloped so their emotional regulation is askew and are prone to poor impulse control which contribute to their violent and erratic behaviour. It’s so interesting!

This video had quite a few discrepancies, Ed Gein was born in LaCrosse, WI, some of the pictures of Augusta (when she was young) were not correct and there was a picture of Bernice Worden shown when they were talking about Ed's death. Ed Gein was not a complete hermit, he had friends and was well liked in the community. He did odd jobs for people and babysat people's children. The night he was caught, he was having dinner with friends and drove down to the hardware store with them. No one ever suspected he was doing what he did.

Disgust is an unconscious response. That's like saying someone with arachnophobia would be found cuddling spiders in privacy. It really comes down to how literal he was being but usually being with this type of repression tend to be more violent or she might have abused his genitals or shamed him in a way we would find as sexual abuse without it actually involving sex. That would make more sense in this situation. I've found many inconsistencies in this presenters language and I say that understanding his background. I still don't see her having sex with him.

I used to work as a psychotherapist at the Institute Ed lived in most of his life until his death. I think this psychologist is assuming a bit too much that Ed’s motive was sexual in nature. There was no evidence of necrophilia or any other sexually deviant behavior. Also, Ed wasn’t a hermit and did go out of his house and was well known in town as quite friendly albeit a little odd. And, he was a genuinely friendly (not a manipulative charming psychopathic) resident at the institution. He was known to be easy to talk to and did not present as narcissistic. When he was younger Ed was even trusted to babysit children in town and never hurt them. I think he was creating a female person “suit” because he was trying to recreate his deceased mother. Yes, she was quite controlling and abusive and their attachment/bond was pathological. She made herself his entire life. He had cognitive issues and obviously severe mental illness and trauma. Ed was not so much “evil,” as ill and broken by his mother. I do agree with this psychologist tha he was not a sadistic psychopath. But, not all behaviors such as these are created by sexual urges. That’s just the popular theory at this time for crimes like this in general. However, humans are unique and so are their motives. Desperation, fear and grief combined with a lack of coping skills can also create terrifying results.

I work with kids and I have a keen interest in how the environment shapes us as humans. If you think about it, only 3.5% of the population would have a personality characterised as antisocial (the one that we normally call as being psychopaths). A large proportion of this small antisocial population will never commit a murder. They would be leaching, conniving, malicious people, but they never get to actually commit a murder. So, how are all these serial murderers created? We like to think that they were born sick, but were they all born this way? Years of abuse, disturbed love maps, neglect, dissociation from any semblance of normality would do the trick! I see it every day and I am actually terrified of thinking of how many many kids slip through the cracks and no one is common to save them from their own private hell. They stay there until hell actually starts to feel like home.

I have a slight problem with this psychologist. I'm not saying he's wrong, and I even agree with other commenters who say that genetics are like a loaded gun, and conditioning pulls the trigger. But this man did not interview Ed Gein personally. He starts out making assumptions concerning a sexual relationship with his mother. It's an assumption. But later on, in contradiction to the scientific method, he's presenting it to you as a fact. He can't possibly know it was a fact. He even talks about Ed masturbating with thoughts of his mother. There is no way he can possibly know that. Psychology is an imperfect science to say the least. And my experiences are that when psychological assumption is being presented as empirical fact, that is a flaw. It might be nitpicking, and his explanations might be the best available guess, but it's still an assumption and not fact.
@richardbullwood5941 Рік тому
I have read more comments below. In addition to the assumptions that I stated before, apparently there are quite a few factual discrepancies that are simply untrue in telling of the story. So not only are factual details incorrect, but a psychologist telling us what Ed gein's mother thought, what Ed Gein thought in his private moments, and their relationship being presented as factual when it's just a clinical gas, is sloppy on several levels.

It’s interesting seeing this kind of deconstruction of what led to a person’s particular state of being. If you do that with everyone, you stop seeing them with eyes of judgment and instead begin to understand. I can’t tell if it’s a complete way to see someone though, because it doesn’t draw the line for where their particular call to responsibility is. To what degree can a criminal be blamed, and to what degree can they be pardoned? That’s the tough question.
@thethirdtime9168 Рік тому
I think this is exactly what's very important to consider. In many cases the foundation of a criminal arise due to outward, often environmental, circumstances, and A LOT of those could potentially be avoided if we ensured people lived better, more stable childhoods. But that being said, it's still no excuse for crimes. Deliberately hurting others shouldn't shouldn't be ignored, it should be unlearned, and once a person is so far in that they can't unlearn, that's when I find life in prison a viable solution. We can have empathy and compassion with those who do horrible things and still hold them accountable for their actions.

A lot of people would argue nature versus nurture. How much of these crimes is Ed's fault? Personally, I would argue that nature had nothing to do with it. Many people grow up in unstable, violent, emotionally damaging environments and don't resort to sick crimes such as Ed did. I do believe he was confused sexually, but that confusion doesn't excuse his actions. I worked in a psychiatric hospital for many years and not ONCE did I ever encounter a soul that was capable of violence or criminal acts, such as this or of lesser extent. Psychiatric illness doesn't create monsters, neither does a person's environment. We all have free will. We all can choose to act in goodness.

That is not true what he said about guilt. I have a guilty conscience when I know I haven't done anything. I just feel like somebody's going to think I'm the guilty one. I am too honest. I'm not saying, I don't lie but, usually when I do lie, I feel so guilty about it, I admit to the person that I lied, right away. And, did anyone notice how the psychiatrist looks a lot like the Killer?

That sounds like anxiety more than “guilt” because anxiety is the worry that things will go wrong or that people would think bad things about you, cause anxiety tells you lies and stresses you out about things that aren’t happening or aren’t true

Here to my personal opinion must be a combined model that classifies Ed Gein as a individual with all three triad patterns. His Machiavelli by his roles in possession of furniture in the likeness of his victims to have the most uncommon type of objects. The Incredible amount of solitude and isolated memories might have promoted his identity with neurotic type traits turned into real life horror. His combined historical experience about the past memories that he couldn't feel were true for other's, this past created delusional fixation, that led to his psychotic experience and also promoted his patterns of this abnormal behavior.

...the professional got wrong a key aspect about gein. He was *NOT* a Serial Killer. He would have to have killed 3 people for that. Although, I believe the professional was trying to state Gein's trajectory had him going down that path, and he was only stopped due to law enforcement intervening. Thoughts?
@acidpixieart4688 Рік тому
I honestly agree
@moroniteichert5967 Рік тому
Many people speculate, and I think Dr Hickey is as well, that Ed Gein was a serial killer in the `killed 3 people' sense, because some of the body parts found may very well have come from additional unknown victims. This is addressed briefly at 10:06, though it also says that Gein himself denied having murdered more than the two women he was charged with. I will say that Dr. Hickey, at 13:11, does label Gein as a "prolific serial killer," without much explanation, and I am rather curious as to why he said that.
@RookieAssassin Рік тому

@ferguson8143 Рік тому

@geminisundone Рік тому
I've just commented on this. He almost certainly killed his brother. That makes 3 and left alone he would most certainly have gone on to kill many more. In the 70's when the term " serial killer " was born, it was 3 murders with a cooling off process between them that designated you as a serial killer. It's been reduced to 2 now for some unknown reason. Gein was certainly one of if not the most infamous graverobber that ever lived.

@@linusfotograf No, they found all of those parts. It's the 'extra' pieces they were finding scattered in his home. They were seriously creeped out by these, they did a headcount of all the local ladies AND checked the graves of the recently & not so recently deceased ladies in the area. They found they had too many of certain pieces (breasts, vaginas, etc.) and were trying to find the rest of their bodies. Many, many, too many moons ago when I was in college working towards an Admin of Justice degree, I would spend a LOT of time in the Law Library at my University and take advantage of visiting other schools Law Libraries. I was doing course work but I was also just snooping around. I looked up Mr. Gein's case and went through what material was there, I seriously had nightmares for a week or so. Then his name was brought up in class and due to my snooping skills I was able to sound like a knowledgeable law student for a couple of hours.

These days it does. They've reduced it to 2 with a cooling off period between them. Back in the 70's when the term " serial killer " was created it was 3 killings, separated with cooling off periods.
