Shocking Details Of Sherri Papini's Self Inflicted Wounds For Attention

Mind Behind The Crime | The Psychology Of Killers

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott delves into the shocking case of Sherri Papini, who faked her abduction and inflicted severe injuries on herself to support her fabricated story. Papini orchestrated an elaborate scheme, involving a former boyfriend who helped her stage injuries by branding her and starving herself to appear emaciated. Scott explains that Papini's actions likely stem from severe cluster B personality disorders, including narcissistic, histrionic, and borderline personality disorders, often resulting from a combination of genetic predisposition and childhood trauma. These disorders drive a desperate need for attention and validation, leading to extreme behaviors. Scott also discusses the potential presence of Munchausen by proxy, given Papini's alleged actions of making her children inhale rubbing alcohol to induce illness. The conversation highlights the complexity of treating such disorders and the importance of consequences and education in addressing these behaviors.
