Bryan Nelson, LMFT
Experience
providing assessment and treatment to individuals who have a history of
problem sexual behaviors (sexual offenses, paraphilias) and other
violent crimes such as murder, mayhem, arson and assault. I have been
conducting personal research for over 20 years on serial homicide and
the role of fantasy in the development of these offenders and the
continuation of this rare cycle of violence. I have created the Fantasy
Wheel© as a theoretical
representation of serial homicide offenders' fantasy and the related
motivation for their crimes, which I hope to develop further for crime
behavior analysis use.
