Psychodynamic theory could be used to analyze Dahmer's childhood experiences and unconscious motivations that may have influenced his behavior. Social learning theory could also be applied to understand how his environment and relationships contributed to his actions. Additionally, psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder could be considered in examining his lack of empathy and disregard for societal norms.
There is no credible evidence to suggest that Jeffrey Dahmer had any occult family members. After Dahmer's conviction, his immediate family members maintained a low profile, and it is not widely known where they currently reside.
Jeffrey Dahmer died on November 28, 1994 at the age of 34.
Jeffrey Dahmer's parents divorced when he was very young. He saw them fight a lot and picked up on some of the violence.
His parents knew something was wrong with him when he displayed violent behavior towards his aunt. One time she was sleeping and woke up to Jeffrey at the bottom of her bed. He had arranged knives all around her.
He wasn't shown love as a child and was addicted to pornography. Later in life, he wanted to fill those urgues and did so to his victims. By him injecting chemicals into their brain, he thought that they wouldn't die and would stay with him forever. Maybe if he had a different childhood, he would've been led to such violent crimes.
Jeffrey Dahmer was a homosexual sexual deviant who raped, murdered and ate parts of 17 victims. Like other killers he managed to elude capture while continuing to carry out his crimes. Like every other sociopath serial killer in history he believed himself to be completely justified in his actions.
Jeffrey Dahmer was serving 15 life sentences in Columbia Correctional Institute in Potage, Wisconcin.
Jeffrey Dahmer is a highly publicized serial killer who was charged with killing 15 young men and dismembering them. He was found guilty on all 15 charges and sentenced to 15 life terms or a total of 937 years.
Actually, no he wasn't ever diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder or schizophrenia. Dahmer's official diagnosis were major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, paraphilias (sexual disorders such as necrophilia, hebephilia, etc), substance use disorder (both alcohol and drugs) and borderline personality disorder.
Probably not. None of the psychiatric testimony given at his trial includes any mention of schizophrenia. His unique combination of pathologies does not fit any specific classification. Abigail Strubel at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, writes that Dahmer,
"...may have suffered from a combination of paraphilias, depression, substance dependence, Asperger's Disorder, disordered personality, and social skills deficits."
Dahmer was in the military for just 5 months. he was discharged for drunkeness.
Most people, apon hearing about the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer, think that he must be crazy. He actually was not. Mental illness is not the same as a personality disorder, which is what Dahmer had. Simply put, it was his personality. Personality in humans developes in early childhood. It seems to be a mixture of heredity and environmental. This is true for every human. By the time little Jeffrey was ready for school his personality had already formed to a great degree. It is true that sociopaths quite often have a parent that has sociopathic tendences. Dahmer was no exception. Lionel Dahmer (Jeff's father) confessed to having violent fantacies as a young man. His mother may have had mental health issues. In conclusion, Dahmer was not mentally ill, but he most certainly was not normal. What is amazing is the fact that Jeffrey's younger brother came from the same 'gene pool' and environment and he is a completely functioning person, he leads a normal life. So how can that be? It may have to do with how internal and external events are perceived by the individuals involved. Jeff and his brother may have perceived the same situations differently. What is known about the human brain is in it's infancy even now in the 21st century.
The Dahmer's address was 4480 West Bath Rd. Bath OH. This was the house the Dahmers moved to when Jeffrey was eight. This was also the scene of Jeffrey's first murder, a hitchhiker named Hicks. After he killed Hicks, Dahmer dismembered him and spread the remains in the woods near the house.
Jeffrey Dahmer was not abused as a child by his parents, but he was kind of neglected inadvertantly because of his parents relentless fighting.Also,his parents CONSTANT and sometimes viscious fighting IS indirectly a form of abuse,and it effected Jeff very profoundly,his parents were too wrapped up in their affairs to notice what a profound effect it was having on their eldest son,which also made Jeff feel unnoticed. But Jeffrey was sexually molested by a neighbor at a young age after his familly moved to Ohio.
Although not abused by his parents, Dahmer was the victim of school bullies. There is more known now about the effects of this type of abuse, but at the time, young Jeffrey was more or less told to 'endure' and hope it would get better. It never did. This must have had devastating consequences on Dahmer as a child. there was never any evidence that Jeff was molested as a child, Jeff himself emphatically denied this claim.
Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer was one of the most famous serial killers of our time. He was cunning, persuasive, and extremely smart. These factors were the main reason it took so long for him to be brought to justice.
In 1978, during Dahmer's senior year, his parents' poisonous marriage finally came to an end. The couple split up, going their separate ways. Jeffrey took the divorce hard, as most children do.
im sure the room number 507.
I'm always a little curious as to how some rumors get started. Dahmer was killed by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver with a broom handle. He suffered severe head trauma and was DOA at the hospital. But he was not sodomized or sexually molested in any way. Scarver killed another inmate along with Dahmer, he was not molested either. Although the general public may find it somewhat comforting to think Dahmer died as his victims did, it simply is not the truth.
Jeffrey's murders specifically had quite an impact on both the African American and gay communities of the Milwaukee area.

"When I was a little kid I was just like anybody else."- Jeffrey Dahmer
All through his life Dahmer appeared normal to others. He hid his secrets from even his father. No one ever suspected anything. Except those who lived by him who traced an unpleasent smell, which later turned out to be the smell of rotting corpses, back to his apartment.
However, before you get the wrong idea, murdering people was secret unsuspected side to the Jeffrey Dahmer people knew. He was an uncontrolable necrophiliac who felt the need to satisfy his urges and yes, even he was disgusted with himself.
He loved to ski. When he couldn't afford it, he would steal skiis, poles and ski lift passes. He obviously didn't let lack of money curtail what he like to do.
Information on Dahmer's short time at OSU is almost non-existant. In fact there seems to be no record of where Dahmer lived while attending the school. A few of the rumors are Lincoln Tower, Morrill Tower and Drackett Hall. It is possible that his records were destroyed due to the fact that he was there only briefly and did not complete any classes. Only years later with his arrest would those records be of interest to anyone.
//Update:Dahmer was studying business at OSU.
David Dahmer, Jeffrey's younger brother by 7 years, has changed his name and moved on with his life. Dahmer's mother died of cancer in 2000, and Lionel Dahmer has since remarried and retired and lives a quiet life.
Yes -- he had a younger brother, David, who changed his name after his brother became notorious, though he kept in touch with Jeffery.
