From his arrest until his execution in 1989, Ted Bundy was interviewed extensively by psychologists, journalists, and law enforcement. He offered insight into the thoughts and methods of other serial killers. It wasn't until the last few days of his life that he confessed to some of his crimes, which he attributed to a mysterious Entity he claimed compelled him to kill. Dr. Al Carlisle, Ph.D., evaluated Bundy for the Utah court in 1976. Ever since, Carlisle has painstakingly reconstructed Ted's history through conversations with Bundy's friends, lovers, neighbors, investigators --and through Bundy's own words. The only book of its kind, I'm Not Guilty gives a thorough analysis of the facts of Bundy's life and crimes based on Carlisle's research. Then, through a speculative interview, or Roman-a-Clef, Carlisle enhances what is known about Bundy's victims, the origins of the Entity, and Bundy's need to kill. This book helps to explain how a series of choices can lead a good person, step by step, to become a serial killer. Book one in the Development of the Violent Mind series.

Arthur Gary Bishop and Westley Allan Dodd had many things in common. They were both psychopathic pedophiles and child molesters who eventually turned to killing their victims. Both were executed for their crimes at their own request. Most importantly, both desperately wanted to know one thing before they died: How did I become a serial killer? It's often said that we will likely never understand how a person becomes a serial killer. However, I believe we can. In fact, we must, if we are ever going to find a way to stop the sexual abuse of children. But it's not only the victims we want to save. We also want to stop children from transforming themselves into killers. This book goes a long way towards helping us understand why. It also includes a never-before-seen booklet written by Wes Dodd to tell children how to avoid strangers. Book two in the Development of the Violent Mind series.

""Do you think I killed those girls?" Ted Bundy asked me this question after we had completed the final interview. We were standing in the corridor outside my office and Ted was about to return to his cell. It was an unusual question to ask... I was caught off guard by the question." "With this question, Ted had put me in a lose-lose situation. My best option might have been to tell him that I couldn't, or wouldn't, answer his question. However, I said to him, "I don't know, but if you did, I believe you will do it again." I'm sure it wasn't what he wanted to hear. He didn't say anything. He turned and walked back to his cell. In future conversations we had together he never again asked that question." " Putting all the information I had gleaned from the test data as well as the phone conversations and the personal interviews with Ted? I concluded that it was my opinion that Ted's personality fit the crime for which he was found guilty. I submitted my report to the court. Then all hell broke loose." - from The 1976 Psychological Assessment of Ted Bundy Dr. Carlisle was part of the 90-Day Diagnostic team at the Utah State Prison tasked by the judge to determine to the best of his ability, without being biased by any of the reports previously done, whether Ted Bundy had a violent personality. Many books have been written about Bundy, but rarely have we had the opportunity to understand the inner workings of his mind. Now, Dr. Carlisle shares the step-by-step psychological assessment process regarding how he determined that Bundy was indeed a violent person and would likely continue to kill if he was set free. This book contains never-before-seen interviews with Ted and those who knew him, along with some of Bundy's assessments, and a letter he wrote to Dr. Carlisle. Book four in the Development of the Violent Mind series.
