The Duggar Men Through a Forensic Lens — What a Psychotherapist Sees That the Headlines Miss

One Duggar brother is in federal prison. Another was arrested this week on charges he allegedly admitted to — twice. Their father knew about abuse inside his own family since 2002 and has faced no legal consequences. A federal judge has already put his finding about Jim Bob's sworn testimony on the public record: not credible.

In Part 2 of this three-part series from Hidden Killers and True Crime Today, hosts Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke talk with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott about the psychology of Josh Duggar, Joseph Duggar, and Jim Bob Duggar. Scott has spent thirty years working with perpetrators of violence across forensic mental health programs, domestic violence shelters, and private practice.

What does Josh's pattern look like to a clinician? What does Joseph's alleged admission — and his apparent apology to the girl at the time it happened — tell us psychologically? What is Jim Bob doing when he chooses internal church handling over law enforcement, repeatedly, and then claims he can't remember any of it?

This conversation also covers Anna Duggar — still married to Josh with seven children while he serves his sentence — and Kendra Duggar, arrested this week on separate charges involving their own four children.

This is Part 2 of 3.
