Ahilan goes above and beyond to accurately detail the key differences, criteria and the basis of abnormal sociologies and psychologies respectively. Through this course, I've acquired a greater depth of understanding of psychopathic symptoms and characteristics, ASPD, and the shocking yet vital context of what makes a serial killer.

I found this course really fascinating! I took another course from the same instructor, Ahilan, Psychological Manipulation, and decided to try this one too. I was looking for something related to abnormal psychology, and this was the perfect fit. I really enjoyed PT 2 of the module "psychopaths walk among us", the evolutionary perspective of psychopathy is something I never really thought about, and it was refreshing to see an objective and impartial position on this subject matter. I like how the instructor breaks down psychopathy from different angles to give you the full picture. Got me to really think critically and understand things from a historic point of view as well. Definitely would recommend this course to anyone interested in abnormal psychology! Aby,SSW

This course was very interesting. I've always been interested in the more abnormal side of psychology, which was hilariously enough only briefly covered in my courses in college. I'm also a writer, and one of the reasons I took this course was to better understand some of my characters who fall under some of the categories this course outlines. I also really agreed with your point of view on what constitutes "evil". Thank you for sharing this wonderful course, definitely going to look into your other courses when I have the chance!

Should come with link to text or poper point presentation as some learn better when connecting nodes by both listening, and reading and taking notes, together or in variety. Should alslo list links and sources to find easily

This is my first course, and back then I had a keen interest in the way serial killers think, feel and behave do I thought of learning more about it, and for me this course is everything I needed, I'm very happy and satisfied :)))

This is one of my favourite courses yet. The course is very informative about serial killers, their motives, behaviour, and factors that may classify them as a serial killer. The instructor also explains common environmental and genetic components that possibly causes one to be categorized in this group. I really recommend this course if the topic of serial killers and their characteristics interests you.

I took this course out of sheer interest in psychology and criminology and I must say I'm greatly pleased with it. The course has been put together very well and covers a lot of important aspects in brief. It was interesting right till the end and has given me a lot of takeaways.

A well put together course. However, I was expecting a course that was more detailed, and had more examples in detail. Nonetheless, it was a very interesting course.

Amazing! This is the second class I am taking from Ahilan and it is impressive how he gathers all the data in a simple easy to follow-way. Thank you so much for all! Now I do believe I can spot those serial beasts or "beauties" :))) much easier

Hands down the best course on serial killers. I really enjoyed that this course dwelled deep into the psychology of serial killers focusing on topics such as Anti-Social Personality Disorder and how that correlates to a serial killer's behavior. I was also impressed by the high depth of knowledge surrounding why serial killers behave in the way they do including, intrinsic motivations, internal conflicts of identity, and various observable personality traits. I also really enjoyed the case studies which were extremely interesting and brought a lot of engagement to the course. Thanks, Ahilan for the excellent content, you never fail to amaze me. Cheers!

Really enjoyed this course! I recommend taking this course after taking the Forensic Psychology course as this expands on previous knowledge. I find the content really interesting and the method of teaching is amazing! It's engaging and educating! If you're looking to expand on your knowledge, then take this course! Enjoyed the serial killer myths the best!!
