<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In 1976, Dr. Carlisle was part of a team that performed a 30-day psychological assessment of Ted Bundy for the Utah court to determine if Ted Bundy had a violent personality. This book goes through the steps Dr. Carlisle took, the people he spoke with, and the information he gathered. He also spoke several times with Ted. Some of these interviews are included in the book. He also includes the results of the TAT and the TWIST, two of the evaluations given to Bundy and what he, Dr. Carlisle, thinks they mean. This book goes step-by-step through the process Dr. Carlisle took in his evaluation, and includes the transcript of a phone conversation with Ted after he escaped from the Colorado jail and two letters written to Dr. Carlisle by Ted while he was in the Utah State Prison. Dr. Carlisle states in the book that this is where he got many of his beliefs about Ted that he used in "I'm Not Guilty!" The Case of Ted Bundy. He quotes some of the interviews he had with Ted. This book is based on conversations he had, and notes he took at the time of the assessment"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The 1976 Psychological Assessment of Ted Bundy</p><p> ""Do you think I killed those girls?"<br /> 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."<br /> "...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."<br /> 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."<br /> " ...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."<br /> - from The 1976 Psychological Assessment of Ted Bundy<br /> 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.<br /> Book four in the Development of the Violent Mind series.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A fascinating study of Bundy by one of the most<br /> knowledgeable experts on the subject. Highly<br /> recommended!" - Michaelbrent Collings, best-<br /> selling author of Strangers and Scavenger Hunt</p><br>
