Another professional opinion…
I find it facinating these few UK, former ‘Scotland Yard’, female professionals tout this “Coersive Control” theory. Well… let me tell you, as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in the United States, with 35+ years in the field of psychiatry, we’ve been talking about the VERY same thing for 30+ years under the heading “Power and Control”. In fact there is a ‘Power and Control” ‘wheel’. You can find it online. I’ve given it to MANY patients. AND… I’ve lived through it with my ex-husband. Had it on my fridge for years. What I take away from your guest, as well as “Laura” from “True Crime Profile” is these women are literally regurgitating a theory that has been known for DECADES. Just under a different ‘title’ with different ‘stages’ (the ‘stages’ your guest described frankly sounded ridiculous, repetitive with circular logic (ie… the more ‘stages’ we have, the more ‘scientific’ and ‘legit’ we sound!). In addition, these women NEVER acknowledge the female may have been the one in ‘power’. Their narrative has a ‘male toxic masculinity’ flavor to it. To put it simply… they do not like men. Period. In summary, based on MY (unbiased) clinical experience… Denise was NOT under this man’s control. She wanted her husband DEAD. She married his KILLER. As a woman who has been the victim of “power and control”, I can say with the utmost certainty Denise was NOT a ‘victim’, nor was her lover an evil manipulator. I honestly can’t believe these charlatans get paid for their ‘professional’ insights or opinions. Be happy to give my insights on a case anytime… your guest made my psych nurse blood boil.

I feel like Wondery does a good job of finding exciting stories (Dirty John, Dr. Death etc) but the reporting feels a little sensational and just not as well put together as the This American Life group (Serial, S-Town). The first episode was so all over the place (not introducing people or...Read full review »
