Dr Lisa Warren - clinical and forensic psychologist and co-founder of Code Black Psychology - joins Dr Lars Madsen to explore the complex psychology behind threats to kill and coercive control. Drawing on years of clinical experience and groundbreaking research, Lisa shares insights into the motivations behind repeated threats, the chilling dynamics of coercive control, and the often-overlooked emotional distress underlying these behaviors.
We dive deep into the profile of individuals who make threats, including their risk for future violence and even suicide, and the clinical challenges in treating them. Lisa also sheds light on the architecture of coercive control, comparing it to tactics used on prisoners of war and cult members, and reveals how these dynamics trap victims in an “invisible cage.”
This episode is a must-listen for mental health professionals, forensic practitioners, and anyone interested in the psychology of threat, control, and harm.
