    WOW! Tons of fascinating information!

    5.0

    The content was top notch. I learned so much new things, and feel better equipped to deal with the field of psychopathy, Some interesting chapters I’d like to highlight is the “What is evil?” & “Legal conflicts” – these were really thought provoking concepts that had me questioning my own perception on the matter. I highly recommend this course on serial killers to anyone wanting to get a better understanding of their make up, influencing and deviance. I can’t wait to take more courses on dark psychology from Ahilan!
