Personality Psychology

Posted by Tami Port Nov 8, 2007

Dr. Duane L. Dobbert is a 38 year veteran of forensic psychology, and currently a professor at Florida Gulf Coast University and Capella University. But he’s not one to dwell in an ivory tower.

In addition to experience as a clinician, researcher and expert witness, Dr. Dobbert has authored the training program, School Bus Drivers: The 1st Line of Defense Against Sexual Predator, educating thousands of School Bus Drivers through nationwide presentations and DVD training videos. He has also authored two books and is currently working on a third.

In his first book, “Halting the Sexual Predators among Us: Preventing Attack, Rape, and Lust Homicide," Dr. Dobbert examines disorders ranging from exhibitionism to pedophilia, and presents scenarios that illustrate the behaviors shown by people preparing to act on such disordered thinking.

I have enjoyed and reviewed his second book, "Understanding Personality Disorders," a new release of 2007, published by Pager.

So keep your eyes open for this informative series of interviews with Dr. Dobbert, in which we'll explore…

• the similarities and differences between narcissism and psychopath
• how you can recognize and protect yourself from narcissist and psychopaths
• what predators are and how parents can protect their children

…and more.

See Dr. Dobbert's website for additional information.
