The Psychology of Serial Killers and Why They Captivate Us with Dr. Rachel Toles
Dr. Rachel Toles is a licensed clinical psychologist in both the state of California and the state of Minnesota. Her current clinical practice includes, but is not limited to: treating relationship, intimacy, and sexual problems; anxiety; trauma; depression; addiction; and poor impulse control. Dr. Toles also performs psychological fitness-for-duty evaluations and court evaluations, which include psychological and neuropsychological testing.
With extensive experience in both clinical and forensic evaluation settings, Dr. Toles has dedicated herself to understanding the motivations, behaviors, and patterns of dangerous criminals. She has served as an expert witness for court cases and has worked with female inmates who suffer from acute mental illnesses at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, under the supervision of Dr. Michael Maloney, a forensic psychologist in the Menendez Brothers case.
She received training from the University of Southern California, the California School of Professional Psychology (APA-accredited doctoral program), and the University of Winnipeg. Her clinical training includes individual and group therapy at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center in Hollywood and individual therapy and psychodiagnostic testing at Airport Marina Counseling Services. Her postdoctoral fellowship involved working with children and administering psychodiagnostic tests at the Reiss Davis Child Study Center.
Dr. Toles is in demand as a lecturer and speaker on profiling and understanding the minds of serial offenders. In her private practice, she approaches each client uniquely and helps clients develop coping skills based on individual needs, including cognitive behavioral approaches as well as mindfulness and meditation techniques. She is currently working on a book that challenges our perception of "evil" and encourages reconsideration of that concept.
