I’m Dr. Peter Salerno — a licensed psychotherapist in California, author, and educator specializing in personality pathology, trauma, and clinical psychology. I hold a Doctor of Psychology degree and have trained extensively in family trauma, complex trauma, and personality disorder assessment including administering the Hare Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL-R). Over the years, I’ve worked in diverse clinical settings and now focus on challenging the myths that dominate mental health discourse — both in professional circles and pop culture. I'm the author of multiple books, including: • The Nature and Nurture of Narcissism – #1 Amazon new release • Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance – Top new release in 7 categories • Cruelty by Nature - Top Seller on Amazon This channel is where I "go rogue" — separating psychological fact from fiction, exposing pseudoscience, and debunking mental health myths with real data and real talk.
