Ep. 33: Nick Reiner: A Psychological Profile | Dr. Suzette Glasner Explains

Video Description

In this episode, addiction scientist and clinical psychologist Dr. Suzette Glasner brings the science of child-to-parent violence and parricide - or killing one or both of one's parents - side-by-side with Nick Reiner's psychological profile. Nick is the youngest son of the late Rob and Michele Reiner. He has been charged with the brutal murder of his parents in a double homicide. News headlines have been buzzing around Nick's addiction history, mental health, and bizarre behavior in the days preceding his parents' murder. Dr. Glasner explains the profile of adult children who commit acts of violence towards their elderly parents, why parents such as the Reiners often suffer in silence in the face of child-to-parent violence, and how addiction and mental health are related to parricide. Leveraging what is currently known about Nick's addiction history and profile, Dr. Glasner not only explains the genesis of unthinkable violent behavior towards one's parents, but simultaneously she addresses the fears that the Reiners' tragic story may stir in families in which an adult child suffers from mental health or addiction issues. Rooted in scientific facts about the frequency of extreme violence and homicidal behavior among adult children towards their parents, Dr. Glasner provides a factual picture of the true risk of such events - and how to recognize and respond to warning signs. 📩 Send your questions or topic requests: [email protected] 🎧 Listen to more episodes → • The Dr. Suzette Glasner Podcast (Video) | https://www.youtube.com/@UCSg9yUGkuQ319fpACujm4_w 🧩 Learn more about Dr. Glasner: https://drglasner.com #robreiner #nickreiner #truecrime #AddictionScience #DrSuzetteGlasner #MentalHealth #Methamphetamine
