Dr. Keith: Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony
Now that murder charges have been filed against Casey Anthony, the question of her underlying character is more important to answer than ever. Her 3-year-old daughter Caylee is allegedly dead, by her hands. This, after months of Casey lying to family, police and even the famed bail bondsman who sprung her from jail, convinced he could get her to tell the truth about her daughter’s whereabouts.
Without having examined Ms. Anthony, I won’t hazard a diagnosis of her. But there’s plenty that’s clear from her demeanor and behavior.
First, Anthony displays an extraordinary capacity to lie. She spun tall tales about Caylee’s whereabouts, leading police on wild goose chases. She maintained her falsehoods, or generated new ones at will, even in the face of authority figures–like police or the courts–using their influence to try to unravel them.
This “ability” to deceive and not be coaxed back toward the facts may indicate that she has homed this ability since childhood. While we don’t know enough about Anthony’s childhood, one kind of environment that could spawn this comfort with lying would be a home where her real and genuine feelings were disregarded or in which punishment was inevitable, regardless of whether she was truly blameworthy. In such circumstances, children and adolescents can break from attempts to stay safe or be vindicated by the facts and learn to lie very effectively to escape responsibility. Lying to parents is the growing place for lying to other authority figures, without a “normal” amount of anxiety when doing so.
Second, Anthony showed almost no panic or concern or depression related to her daughter being missing or dead. This raises the possibility that she is almost entirely cut off from concerns about the suffering or well-being of others. As a woman alone among us, she could be focused exclusively on her own needs–for pleasure or power or money.
Again, having evaluated many murderers and testified in their trials, it is my opinion that this disconnectedness is not genetic. You aren’t born with it. It is the outgrowth of earlier life events that were painful enough to lead a person to abandon emotional bonds with others–and with the self. Faced with untenable traumatic or stressful events or relationships, it is as if the person signs off from the interpersonal bonds that define real connections. And that makes the person capable of inflicting great harm on others without feeling remorse.
Third, Anthony seems to display the same kind of misguided self-confidence or narcissism that was evident in Scott Peterson. Peterson (and it seems Anthony) was a bad liar because his lack of empathy also meant he lacked sensitivity to how others would judge his tall tales. It may well be the case that Anthony, too, has trouble telling convincing lies because she can’t intuit how her audience–whether police or a jury–will “hear” them (whether they will ring true).
Anthony recently cried when the murder charges against her were recited in court. That’s consistent with concern about her own future–which might be spent behind bars, instead of in nightclubs. It also reminds all of us that her grief does not appear to extend to her daughter’s likely fate, which apparently moves her far less, if at all.

Except of course that your ‘analysis’ is calamitously wrong. Scott Peterson is a very empathetic person. The long list of kindnesses that he has shown to friends and neighbors bears witness to that. He was a bad liar because of his feelings of guilt – which is a consequence of empathy. The person with real APD has no trouble lying and is quite convincing — as any victim will tell you.
You made the foolish mistake of presuming that Peterson was guilty of uxoricide. He was not. Laci Peterson was another victim of a fetus abductor as the medical evidence quite clearly proved. Had the state been able to come up with any real evidence, the prosecutor would not have had to lie repeatedly in his closing, even about the evidence offered by his own witnesses. He also would not have had to offer a string of ‘expert’ witnesses to offer half baked theory as truth.
Facts are facts and Peterson scores a 0 on the seven point scale for APD – lower even than Bill Clinton (and me). Accepting free sex when offered may be immoral, but in no sense is it proof of narcissism or of anything else — except bad taste.

I found this insight into Casey Anthony very informative. It is difficult for me to understand how anyone can kill another, especially ones own child. I think everyone watching this case has a hard time grasping the lack of concern Casey Anthony shows and this article gives us some insight as to what is going on in her head and why.
The previous poster is obviously suffering from emotional problems of their own. As we look back to the Peterson case we must remember the difficulty Mark Geragos had in finding character witnesses for Scott. Why? Because no one really knew Scott, very few people had anything kind to say about him and he certainly was a blatant liar.
To Dr. Keith, thank you for your insight. I enjoyed reading this very much.
Great job evaluating her doctor. I totally agree. She is one piece of WORK!! I truly wish either your station or CNN would bring in a well known Psychic, to get the story of Caylee’s demise, and the wheresbouts of her remains. God Bless that precious little girl whom did not have a CHANCE. ThANKS AGAIN. HOPE YOU ALL CAN ACCOMODATE WITH PSYCHIC!!!
i always felt like she killed her baby, she knows and God knows……
It was bad enough that Dr. Ablow wrote a book cholk-full of falsehoods and false opinions about Scott Peterson before he has had his chance in the appellate process. But now it seems he has pushed it one step further – or should I say lower. Casey Anthony hasn’t even had her day one in court yet – and he is poisoning her possible jury pool.
Where is the outrage in the medical community? Don’t they realize “Dr.” Ablow is making them look bad? He is making a mockery of the profession. And worse, he is largely contributing to the growing problem of “Trial by Media” in America. It’s time for someone to stand up and speak out against this man!
I hope that Casey Anthony’s family has declined all interview requests with Keith Ablow and continue to do so. And I hope they sue his butt for his reckless speculation about their daughter and her childhood that will undoubtedly further the impossibility of their daughter receiving a fair trial.
Ablow and others have often used Scott Peterson as an example – or as a precedent – to support other people’s guilt. They have used him to assert that it doesn’t matter that there was no history of violence or that EVERYONE thought he was a nice guy. One day, when Scott Peterson is exonerated he will truly set a precedent. He will be our poster child for the wrongfully convicted, by both law enforcement as well as the media. He will be our poster child for those wrongfully diagnosed by Keith Ablow. And what a huge impact he will make. People will see that he didn’t just appear to be a nice guy – that he simply was a nice guy. And people will then see that if Scott Peterson can be wrongfully convicted – you can be wrongfully convicted, your son can be wrongfull convicted – your husband can be wrongfully convicted.
Good job. The only thing I question is that Casey cried when she was charged with murder. There is “crying” and there is “squeezing a tear out of one eye” and making it work for the camera. The latter is what she did in my opinion. She’s a piece of work and her mother is a bigger piece of work. I think they lived in a house with dueling egos – Cindy’s and Casey’s. I’m not sure whose is the bigger one.
I think it’s pretty obvious from all that has been in the press, that this person has never been held accountable for her actions. From the reactions of her parents, it seems that she may have learned this skill from them. I understand that they are in a grieving state, but they have stood up with her and are seemingly accepting her lies as the truth. Maybe it has always been this way, which explains her blatant behavior. For example: DId she really beleive that she could steal from her friend Amy and not have to explain what happened when she came back from vacation to discover her checking account wiped out? Seems like “normal” behavior for her. If she never had to pay for her mistakes, why would this be any different? Maybe she thought she could make up a story and everyone would believer her because they always have, or even if they didn’t, she still wasn’t made to suffer for her actions. It seems that her parents have always made everything ok, and I’m sure she must have thought this situation was no different. No punishment could fit this crime. The only remorse she will ever feel is getting caught and losing her freedom. She won’t mourn the lost life or have regret for her actions. Her behavior seems to be proof of that.
To Mr Smith! Your very much in denial too…. Wake up and smell the coffee. Casey had plenty of chances to clear her name. Im a mother of FIVE and I too have one beautiful granddaughter whom is 1 year old, no child of mine could convince me that my granddaughter has been missing for over 30 days yet never spoke a word about it. Casey chose her path and chose not to cooperate with the Police from day one. It appears to me that Mom Anthony opened her mouth to the police about the dead odor in the trunk before she realized that her precious little daughter Casey was indeed the suspect. Notice how the Dad Mr. Ex police officer keeps a low profile….Hmmmm. I wonder how long their relationship last after the MURDER trial ends?? Grandma has allowed her daughter to walk over everyone she comes across to include her, that she is willing to defend her daughter at the cost of her granddaughter. If Casey was innocent she would have come clean even if it had been an accident. She made comments that she tried looking for her daughter from the start of all this mess, yet never once thought hmmm let me call the police cause im not getting anywhere! Remember her Mommy made that call, Casey sat back as she probably always does when she has caused some drama in the family. I feel no empathy for Casey her selfish world has hopefully come to an end in her 4×4 cell. Everyone has the right to a fare trial, but please her actions & lies!! Speak for itself. I really wonder how great of a relationship they really had considering the Grandma hadn’t seen her Caylee for over 30 days and didn’t say a peep! Cant wait for them to find the body I don’t care how long it takes, cause then and only then will Casey’s world come to an end in her eyes… Give her life! As she has taken one.
Many times someone’s actions speak louder then any words. Casey’s actions or lack of any tells it all.
In the thrirty days she says she was looking for Caylee, she looked at alot of bar stools, parties, Men, and even shopping..She and the rest of the family are not using the media to beg for anyone to bring Caylee home.
When Casey says she has not seen Caylee in 30 days, in her mind that is a true statement , she has not seen Caylee since the day of Caylee’s demise.
Casey is so use to everyone believeing whatever she says, that she in her mind thought everyone would believe her now, and no one not even the police would doubt her. She tried to dot all her I’s and cross all her T’s .
I think that someone in the family helped her hide Caylee’s body, George is a retired cop he of all people know that Casey’s actions, and the jealousy between Casey and Cindy for Caylee’s love and the fact that Cindy was with Caylee a good percentage of the time..Casey killed Caylee out of anger that Cindy and caylee had a deep bond, that for some reason Casey never felt she had with Caylee.
George knows alot more i think then what is being said.
That whole family has NOT in my opipion showed any kind of behavior of if they believe Caylee is alive to beg for whoever has her to drop her off some where no questions asked, The fact that not anyone in the family will help the investagators, nor help with the search efforts of Tim Miller and texas Eqquesearch.
Caylee, a 2 year old child that was in a tug of war between Casey and Cindy for Caylee’s love and affection. I pray they find Caylee’s remains mainly to give her a proper burial , and the next reason is so Casey will never see the light of day again.
Can I just remind everyone that virtually every time a child is abducted or murdered, whether or not the parents are implicated, the mother is publicly criticised for showing too much emotion, too little emotion, or the wrong emotions. It happened to Lindy Chamberlain, it happened to Kate McCann, it’s now happening to Julia Hudson. Who are we to say what is an appropriate demonstration of emotion in such circumstances? I’m not saying she’s not guilty. If she is found guilty of the murder of her child, she should be punished with the full force of the law. I’m saying the kinds of comments from the public that are all over the internet, such as “I always felt in my heart she was guilty,” are an indictment on a society that claims a functional and democratic justice system. I also suggest that a society that glorifies sex and serial monogamy uses words like “ho” and “slut” far too liberally when women are on trial. Finally, the following statement: “That’s consistent with concern about her own future–which might be spent behind bars, instead of in nightclubs” is unprofessional. Enough trial by media. It only shames an amoral and gossip hungry public.
I suspect heavy metal poisoning. Casey shows signs of Asperger’s syndrome which is a mild form of autism and which can be caused or made worse by heavy metal poisoning. We lack the glutathione enzyme which the body needs to handle the amount of heavy metals and toxins in our environment that others can manage to excrete with no difficulty. Asperger’s syndrome is both a gift and a curse. Einstein probably had it, but so most likely did Hitler. Heavy metal poisoning is an endocrine disrupter, including oxytocin which the brain needs to be able to feel the instinct to nurture and feel empathy for others and read and respond to facial expressions. It has been commented in the papers about how wooden faced Casey is. I have never killed anyone but that trait spooks people about me too. The only emotions she CAN feel are her own. Not her fault. It’s her faulty brain wiring. She wanted to put her child up for adoption and was persuaded not to. Big mistake! Our society condemns woman who have no mothering instincts, but if one doesn’t one doesn’t and she should have been allowed, indeed encouraged to find an other home for the child instead of being shamed for having no talent for motherhood. My Mother didn’t and put me through Hell through no fault of her own. Because of that I made the decision at the age of 2 and a half (yes two and a half) not to have kids myself. Already I had figured out something was wrong with us. I turned out to be correct. I was put through hell in school by counselors and others because I was refusing to take an interest in boys or wear make up or engage in any of the expected rituals necessary to catch one. But I didn’t want one because I knew I could not be a good wife or mother. I realize now they might have thought I was a homosexual. But I wasn’t interested in girls either. My interests were God, science and science fiction, (not necessarily in that order.
We are very talented people and most of modern technology was invented by us. Even I have talent. I figured out the theological consequences of General Relativity. Check out my web sites at http://www.proofgodexists.org But many of us just should not be raising kids. My mother failed to realize I was a person not a doll that could be put back up on the shelf when she was tired of playing with me. Even the sound of my voice was a sensory issue for her. If I tried to get a hug she would shove me away. If I tried to climb on her lap she would push me off and say, “why are you being such a pest? Why don’t you go play by yourself and leave me alone? I used to love to play by myself.” I know if I had been foolish enough to have kids the same thing would have happened.
I suspect she has heavy metal poisoning. She shows signs of Asperger’s syndrome which is a mild form of autism which in some cases can be caused or made worse by heavy metal poisoning. We lack the glutathione enxyme which helps the body get rid of heavy metals and other toxins so they build up in us instead of being eliminated. Heavy metal poisoning is a major endocrine disruptor including oxytocin which is necessary for the brain to feel the instinct to nurture and to feel empathy for others. For that reason many of us should not be encouraged to become mothers. The only emotions Casey can feel are her own. Oxytocin is also necessary to read and respond to facial expressions. Many have commented on how wooden faced she is. She doesn’t lie well. But I know from personal experience we don’t tell the truth well either. We don’t put the right empathetic and sincere expressions on our face and instead of making eye contact when our facts are questioned we look inwards to check them. That comes across as evasive behavior and there are us that are innocently in jail and prison for that. Many of us should not be mothers. Asperger’s syndrome is both a gift and a curse. Much of modern technology is designed by us. Bill Gates has Asperger’s syndrome as does Stephen Spielberg and many of the folks at NASA. Einstein probably had it but so most likely did Hitler. No one with the lack of ability to nurture should be put in charge of a child! My Aspergian Mother definitely should not have been and I made the decision at the age of two and a half (yes two and a half)not to have kids. Casey wanted to put her child up for adoption and her grandmother discouraged her. Bad mistake! if the instinct to nurture is not there, it is not there, and no amount of shaming is going to make it be there. She should not have killed her child but nothing could have made Casey love her. The hard wiring in her brain simply was not there and that much was not her fault. My mother didn’t kill me but when I tried to get a hug from her she would shove me away. if I tried to climb on her lap she would shove me off and say, “Why are you being such a pest? Why don’t you go play by yourself? I used to love to play by myself.” Even the sound of my voice was a sensory issue to her and when I listen to kids I realize it is a sensory issue for me too so I made the right decision. We are not useless. We have great talents. Even I figured out the theological consequences of curved space time. (Since time circles the future is the past. So everything that happens in the future happened in the past. We grow into Christ (Ephesians 4:15). build Heaven and go around curved space/time and upload everybody including the Galilee Carpenter and give Him His well deserved Kingdom). But many of us should not be raising kids.
I think if we take the emotional response out of this situation and look at the facts we can see a woman who shows absolutely no remorse or concern for her missing daughter. A mothers bond with their children can vary, and so may the emotional reactions at losing a child, but in this case, how could a mother with a missing/kidnapped daughter go out to nightclubs, steal friends money to go shopping, socialize, etc. if she was facing the turmoil of trying to find a missing/kidnapped child? You can’t be both distressed and relaxed and sociable at the same time. She was only one of those things and it was the latter.
We’ve seen parents of missing/kidnapped children. They work 24/7 WITH not AGAINST police & FBI & search teams to find their child, they show genuine distress and terror that their child is missing, and they plead with the public for help to find or return their child. Casey Anthony did none of this. She didn’t even elicit help from family or friends to find her missing child.
And this doesn’t even begin to cover the evidence in the case against her, including the decomposing body that was in her trunk during the period of time Caylee was missing and she was “partying”.
Those who are saying she is having her “trial by media” forget that the jury will still have to base their decision on FACTS and EVIDENCE. The media may hype up and dramatize this situation, but the fact still remains that Casey Anthony has displayed some alarmingly narcissistic and sociopathic behavior and that is what Dr. Kieth Ablow was commenting about in his article. He never said she was guilty, he simply stated some of the actions and behavior of Casey Anthony in this case and how they are consistent with other known murderers.
My post isn’t going through for some reason. This is my third attempt.
I suspect she has heavy metal poisoning. She shows signs of Asperger’s syndrome which is a mild form of autism which in some cases can be caused or made worse by heavy metal poisoning. We lack the glutathione enxyme which helps the body get rid of heavy metals and other toxins so they build up in us instead of being eliminated.

Wow, so many different opinions. The truth never prevails, but evidence does! I followed the Scott/Lacie Peterson horror unfold. I am following the Casey/Caylee Anthony unfold. I am convinced that they are both GUILTY of the crime they are alleged of committing. How great it will be for the both of them to love each other via jail/mail! Isn’t it amazing how individuals that are incarcerated can actually write to another incarcerated person. The only person that initially was not convicted of murdering his wife was OJ. However, where is he now? Evil doesn’t change. I can’t wait for the complete evidence on this case to be presented! Then you will judge!
I do feel for the grandparents. I agree that Casey has had them wrapped around her finger forever. But I understand in a way because I have nine children in my home (five birth, four legal custody) and the personalities of each are so different ..
I understand to an extent, although none of my experiences have beent his extreme, and I have been fairly quick to come down hard when I find out someone has been manipulative or doing something wrong. (took two kids to the police chief for underage drinking last month. They were both cited into court.)
I can understand though, how hard it is to emotionally get out from under a manipulative adult child, because you do love them and …well…that’s why so many parents end up enabliing their kids. I think the grandparents have babied Casey, believed her and fixed things for years. But I also think that this event took them by complete suprise. I think they loved Caylee, have been very concerned for her, and were in denial for a long time about the truth. The truth was much too painful to accept. But now they have been quiet for a few weeks – I do think that by early Sept, they began to realize what happened, and it is killing them inside, because they know they let Casey get away with too much all of her life and the result is this. They feel guilty.
What I think happened – the chloroform in the trunk. Casey is quoted as having complained to friends that if she came out, she’s have to bring the “snot nose” with her. Perhaps Casey had been expecting the grandparents, in the eariler years, to babysit all the time while she partied, and they were now trying to get her to take more responsibility for Caylee. “This is your daughter,” you need to take care of her.” This was right for them to do. Many parents have to take this stand when their adult children are selfishly trying to pass their children off on them. They knew their daughter was selfish. They just didn’t want to admit to themselves how selfish.
Casey wanted to party, and she didn’t want to watch Caylee. So Casey began using chloroform. Maybe this was the first time; maybe she had done it several times before. Anyway, put the little girl to sleep in the car while mom partied.
Only this time, the little girl died from it.
Casey couldn’t tell her parents what she had done, so she took off. Moved out suddenly. She had no plan on how to cover this up from her parents forever, because this happened unexpectedly. She just kept making things up as needed. “Caylee is sleeping right now. She can’t come to the phone.” Finally, when grandma confronted her harshly, she came up with the kidnapping story.
I think the grandparents have probably figured all this out by now. And they are grieving. I feel for them. I beleive they are cooperating. Grandpa, though it grieved him, testified the truth of what they smelled in the car. But they don’t know much more than that – what they saw, heard, smelled. I feel for them.

Im sorry but I don’t buy the “accidental poisoning by chloroform” explanation. First of all, chloroform isn’t readily available over the counter like Nyquil or Benedryl or other sleep inducing over the counter medications. She could have given her daughter any one of these if she wanted her to “sleep”. What sort of mother with any concern for the well being and life of their child would expose them to such a dangerous chemical as chloroform? Your theory also doesn’t explain her partying and lying and hanging out with friends afterward as if nothing had happened. Where’s the remorse in that? If some one accidentally killed their child (which happens all the time) there is some remorse, some guilt, some shame and accountability. There was none with Casey. The only time we’ve seen her cry is when she was charged with a crime, other than that she seems to be just fine. Her cold unfeeling unremorseful attitude is crystal clear in the phone calls made to her family shortly after she was jailed in which she complained everyone was more concerned about Caylee then they were about her and all she wanted was her boyfriends phone number. Please anyone with the ability to think logically can see that she obviously murdered her child and even worse, could care less about it.
I believe that you should also consider the other extreme in childhood – a child who gets everything they want, suffers no consequences for their actions, is allowed to behave however they want. That also breeds a pathological liar.
Leah said: “The only time we’ve seen her cry is when she was charged with a crime, other than that she seems to be just fine.”
How the hell do you know she’s fine? Because you’ve only seen her cry once? Quit being an armchair detective. So you watch TV and have access to the internet. You do not have enough evidence to convict a person for murdering her own child.
Incidentally, chloroform is available, as it’s used for fusing plastic compounds in small craft projects. Having said that, again, this is purely speculative.
Everyone has a right to a fair trial. Everyone has a right to a fair trial.
There is no punishment that can stand up to the size of this crime……
I don’t understand her actions, inactions, emotions and lack there of.
Dr. Keith’s insight was interesting reading. I hope Casey pays for her actions in all of this.
It is quite obvious that the earlier comments in defense of Scott Peterson, are a pathetic ramblings of sick and twisted Fans. Please get some mental help ladies, being in love with a killer, is pathetic and disgusting and demonstrates the clear instablity of your mental state. Scott Peterson is GUILTY. He will never be exonerated. He committed the crime and will be put to death for his heinous actions. He killed in cold blood with no remorse for his child and wife.
Dr. Ablow is not making a final judgement and this is certainly not going to be entered in court, it is merely his intro-spective view of what “might” be going on with Casey Anthony. She also is showing no remorse or concern for her child. The lack of concern for her child’s whereabouts and safety clearly show that the child is dead. Very sad that people are in defense of this and other psychopaths. I hope she is put to death just like Scott Peterson will be.
This is a fair and accurate blog by Dr Ablow. The Casey/Caylee Anthony case is a tragic story. Let’s hope a result is achieved and further facts become available when search parties resume looking for her November 8.
