Popular belief has always been that Jeremy Bamber has psychopathy.
WHERE DID THIS BELIEF ORIGINATE
In truth Jeremy Bamber has been examined by over 27 different psychologists, none of them have found him to have a personality disorder of any variety, nor any mental illness, nor any indication of psychopathy.
WHERE ARE THE 27 DIFFERENT ASSESSMENTS? THE PUBLIC HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM BECAUSE JEREMY BAMBER HAS NEVER DISLCOSED THEM
WHY SHOULD WE TAKE THE WORD OF A CONVICTED MASS MURDERER WHO ADMITTED TO ROBBING HIS FAMILIES BUSINESS AND STAGIMG THE CRIME SCENE 5 MONTHS BEFORE THE MURDERS
Jeremy Bamber is and always has been psychologically well adjusted especially considering the psychological trauma he suffered as a result of losing his family in such tragic circumstance, being hounded by the media and being falsely accused and convicted as a family annihilator.
SPECULATION PROVES NOTHING
Professor Vincent Egan, BSc. (Hons).,Ph.D., D. Clin. Psy. Chartered Clinical Psychologist, Chartered Forensic Psychologist, Senior Lecturer in Forensic Psychology, University of Leicester, recently carried out a psychological assessment of Jeremy Bamber for a category A risk assessment review and he stated in his 14 page report:
WHERE IS THE 14 PAGE REPORT?
AND WHAT WAS THE REPORT BASED ON?
“Jeremy has been previously assessed using the PCL-R and found non-psychopathic. My own assessment also found he did not meet caseness for clinical psychopathy, or even mild psychopathy.” He goes on to state “He did not meet caseness for any of the personality disorder dimensions.”
WHAT WAS PROF EGAN'S REPORT BASED ON?
It has also been further suggested that Jeremy Bamber has used “Impression Management” to dupe the assessor into believing he has no psychopathy, nevertheless Professor Egan applied further tests to take this into account and noted:
WHAT TESTS DID PROF EGAN APPLY?
“To examine whether Jeremy was exaggerating how he presented himself, he also completed the BIDR (Paulus, 1998). On this measure Jeremy was within the low-normal range for impression management and self-deception enhancement. These results suggest he was not presenting himself in an excessively anodyne way to bias the assessor.”
WHAT DID PROF EGAN BASE HIS FINDINGS ON? WHERE IS THE COMPLETED BIDR?
Professor Egan comments, “These findings suggest it is hard to sustain the view that Jeremy Bamber is so expert in deceptive self-presentation as to maintain this front for over a variety of different assessors, different assessment instruments and different times”
WHAT DIFFERENT ASSESSORS, ASSESSMENTS, INSTRUMENTS AND DIFFERENT TIMES?
MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT WAS THE BASIS FOR EACH REPORT, OR WERE THEY ALL BASED ON THE SAME THEME?
The assessment concludes with “Dangerous violent persons tend to be angry, alienated, impulsive and out of control, and none of these qualities appear to reflect Mr Bamber. Quite what the motive would be for something like the index offence being carried out by Mr Bamber again is very speculative, as is the proposition in the first place.”
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? ISNT THIS YET FURTHER SPECULATION ON PROF EGANS BEHALF?
UNLESS JEREMY BAMBER CONFESSES TO HIS CRIMES - ALL HIS REPORTS ARE BASED ON HIS CLAIMS OF INNOCENCE, IN OTHER WORDS BAMBERS REPORTS ARE BASED ON HIS DENIAL
