Scarlett’s guest is Dr. Nina Cerfolio, a distinguished psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, researcher, and humanitarian. Dr. Cerfolio has written extensively on the psychological roots of violence, including school shootings, and is recognized for her deep work on trauma, healing, and resilience. Her groundbreaking research offers vital insights into how untreated suffering, alienation, and disconnection can manifest in violent behavior—and more importantly, how empathy, community, and social-emotional growth can help us prevent tragedy and build peace.

Scarlett and Dr. Cerfolio discuss the epidemic of gun violence in our country, terrorism, and mass shootings, along with award-winning, cutting edge psychiatric research on domestic mass shooters and the high incidence of undiagnosed, untreated brain illness.
