L.A. Not So Confidential: The Premier Forensic Psychology Podcast

The docs once again revisit another psychotic disorder, Delusional Parasitosis. In this terrifying disorder, individuals believe that they are infested with parasites or other unidentified organisms despite no concrete evidence supporting this notion. There is controversy surrounding this condition and we explore all of it, and cover a criminal case linked to the disorder as well as film depictions and a celebrity’s journey with the condition. When listening to the episode, just remember, there's NOTHING crawling under your skin, we promise!

In this week’s episode, “Scared Straight: Reform Schools”, the docs review the very concerning history of the way various states in the US have historically (and now currently) handled juveniles deemed “out of control.” From incarceration, to reform schools and now the trend of “wilderness camps,” young people are forced by into brutal environments by sketchy and poorly trained facilitators. From children of the average American family all the way to celebrities themselves, the experiences were rarely positive. For years ineffective interventions have move across the line from discipline into torture, leaving emotional scars that take years to heal.
