Guerrilla Social Work Podcast

This episode explores the terrifying story of Ted Bundy, the charming yet monstrous serial killer who murdered at least 30 young women in the 1970s. We cover his manipulative methods, his daring prison escapes, and his most shocking crimes, including the brutal 1978 Chi Omega murders. Bundy's eventual capture, conviction, and execution in 1989 are examined, shedding light on the mind of one of America's most infamous killers.

On today’s episode, Jeff and I react to an interview by Chis Williams on the Modern Wisdom channel with Abigail Shrier. Abigail Shrier is a journalist, a writer for The Wall Street Journal, and an author. In this episode they discuss therapy, culture, and Gen-Z, and since Jeff and I weren’t invited, we decided to offer our own perspectives.

This episode is a follow-up from our previous Dark Triad episode where we discuss strategies clinicians can use to improve their work with these clients.

This episode focuses on Success Planning. Gone are the days where therapists focus exclusively on relapse prevention. We discuss the ingredients for the recipe to both manage risk and promote the successful reintegration of our clients.  

Today, the boys are discussing a recent and local publication about the sex offender registry, the practical implications and usage of publicly available registries, and the research on the effectiveness and impact of registry policies.

Today we’re discussing an investigation being conducted by the British Police over an alleged sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl in the Metaverse. We discuss the implications of immersive online interaction, potential for such behavior to manifest in the real world, and review some research that may support our understandings.

The boys sit down to respond to the recent cancellation of therapy by political commentator Matt Walsh. They share their opinions and insights on what Walsh got right and where he may be going wrong.

Introducing the star of our show: Role-play and Skills Training! It's like drama class for the criminally inclined, where they get to practice being law-abiding citizens. We call it "Criminal Improv," where we pretend we're in a real-life social situation, and our participants act out how they'd normally respond. Oh, and trust us, folks, it's not your typical improv show. Our criminals can give Shakespeare a run for his money with their elaborate performances! But here's the secret sauce – it's all about "unlearning" their old, ineffective behaviors. Yep! Just like peeling off those old, crusty criminal layers to reveal the diamond in the rough beneath.

Today we're diving headfirst into a topic that'll make you question everything you thought you knew. We're talking about the controversial documentary "Are All Men Pedophiles" by Jan-Willem Breure. This film takes us on a wild ride through the twisted maze of pedophilia hysteria. Strap in and buckle up! Now, we've got some burning questions to tackle. How did society arrive at this mind-boggling conclusion that all men are potential pedophiles? And what on earth are the political and social consequences of this madness? It's a real head-scratcher. Are men becoming the new victims of modern sexism, or is this surge in sexism somehow justified? We're about to break it down for you. Get ready for some heated discussions, explosive revelations, and a dash of our signature sarcastic humor. But remember, folks, we're here to examine the issues, not pass judgment. Let's keep it real. So join us as we dissect this documentary, share our insights, and maybe even poke a little fun at some absurdities along the way. So

Today, the GSW Crew is discussing the Dark Triad. The Dark Triad is a set of three personality traits that are often associated with negative and destructive behaviors. These traits are narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Narcissism refers to an excessive focus on oneself, including a sense of entitlement and a lack of empathy for others. Machiavellianism involves a willingness to manipulate and exploit others for personal gain, often through deceit and cunning. Psychopathy is characterized by a lack of remorse, empathy, and impulse control, often leading to impulsive and antisocial behavior. These traits can be found in varying degrees in individuals, and while they may provide certain advantages in certain contexts, they are generally associated with negative outcomes for both the individual and those around them.

Felicitations Guerrilla Social Workers! We’re stoked to bring you another chitchat with your hosts Jeff “optic scump” Moore, and yours faithfully, Mace Warren. Jeff and I are both forensic psychotherapists that specialize in treating clients involved in the criminal justice system.  We love sharing our misguided musings with all of you, and we thank you so much for your ongoing listenership. Today, the GSW crew responds to a video made by Candace Owens from the Daily Wire titled, “Therapy is Ruining Western Civilization.” Candace shares her views on why she thinks therapy is causing people to overshare and become overly sensitive, and the boys give their take on the subject. If you like what you hear, offer to tie the five-star ratings shoes. When you kneel down, reach between their legs with your stronger arm and reach around your back from the same side with your weaker arm before then lifting the five-star rating up over your shoulder. From this position, fall forward to slam the five-star rating against t

Today, the GSW posse reviews a large-scale experiment on new year’s resolutions. Despite the popularity of New Year’s resolutions, current knowledge about them is limited. We investigated what resolutions people make when they are free to formulate them, whether different resolutions reach differing success rates, and whether it is possible to increase the likelihood of a resolution’s success by administering information and exercises on effective goal setting. If you like what you hear, when the five-star rating button twists its ankle, offer your shoulder to help them walk. But before taking your first step, grab a waist lock and lift the five-star rating up while falling backward, causing them to land on their neck and shoulders. And now on with the show. Oscarsson M, Carlbring P, Andersson G, Rozental A. A large-scale experiment on New Year's resolutions: Approach-oriented goals are more successful than avoidance-oriented goals. PLoS One. 2020 Dec 9;15(12):e0234097. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0234097. PMID

Today, the GSW crew discusses the concept of catfishing and how it affects our clients. Apps and social media, it can be big business, with romance scams costing victims millions of dollars across the US every year. Current catfishing statistics project an even further upward curve over the coming years, and clients reentering society after incarceration trying to build a new social network should be vigilant of the dangers. If you like what you hear, offer to give the five-star rating a back rub. As soon as they relax sit on their back and place both their arms across your thighs. Then reach forward and grab their chin and pull.

Today, the GSW crew reviews their recent attendance to the Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse. We talk about all the presentations we heard and give our personal takes on the conference as a whole. If you like what you hear, wait until the five-star rating button lays down for a nap, climb to the top rope and execute a 1 & ½ front flip and land on their chest.
