TWISTED LOVE & MURDER: CHARLES MANSON'S GIRLS, JODI ARIAS & KARLA HOMOLKA by Dr. Paul Dawson is the first in a series of three TWISTED LOVE & MURDER books. This true-crime book reveals the fascinating issue of young women and teenage girls who fall in love with men and then murder results for various reasons. Maybe the young lady, Karla Homolka, for example, was forced to participate in murder, pressured by the man she loved. Charles Manson's girls seemed to have been drugged, brainwashed, and obeyed his orders because he was an authority figure. Jodi Arias seemed to have murdered her lover because he had rejected her as a potential wife, and she was in a jealous rage. Or did Jodi's lover abuse her as she claimed in her murder-trial defense? Jodi Arias was obsessed and stalked Travis Alexander and viciously murdered him. Dr. Dawson explores and scrutinizes the Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander train-wreck relationship, which spiraled down, out-of-control, smashed personal boundaries, and crashed in an orgy of bloody murder. Dr. Dawson conducted prison interviews with Karla Homolka and presented a forensic-clinical psychologist's analysis and detailed scrutiny of Karla Homolka. Karla was the significant other in a notorious, degenerate serial-sex-killer couple known as "The Ken and Barbie of Murder and Mayhem," operating from 1990 to 1993 out of Ontario, Canada. Dr. Dawson reveals the forming of the Manson Family, which was 5:1 girls-to-guys. A particular emphasis is on the development and life passages of the young women in the Manson Family. Many of the girls Manson recruited for his hippie-murder cult seemed to be wild-and-crazy teenagers, hippie girls stoned on drugs, with parental issues caught up in an identity-crisis turmoil which Manson exploited. Dr. Dawson conducted a series of interviews with Charles Manson, incarcerated in San Quentin State Prison, San Quentin, California, poster boy for killer-cult leaders, in September 1988. Dr. Dawson provides a unique, sensational, and spellbinding investigation and assessment inside the treacherous, enigmatic mind of this infamous icon of criminal evil. Manson's depraved aura, the repulsion of this homicidal-cult guru, and his murdering, cult-kingpin rampage is investigated in depth. He was the wild-eyed, scraggly-haired Dark Prince of the 1960s. Manson was the demon-hippie, psycho- serial-killer-by-proxy of the Woodstock era who sent his Manson Family of fanatical, cult-crazed robots out to commit multiple homicides in the mansions of Los AngelesDr. Dawson earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from The New School for Social Research, Graduate Faculty in New York City.
