Abstract
Ted Bundy was a very attractive and well educated man; little did everyone know that behind his appealing physics that a serial killer lurked underneath. It was because of his good looks and charm that Ted Bundy was able to evade police for many years until a few small errors finally lead police straight to him. There are certain theories in psychology that can be linked to Ted Bundy and certain key aspects of his life can be believed contributed towards his criminal and violent behavior. The two keys theories that can be linked to Ted Bundy are the Modeling theory and the psychodynamic or hydraulic model.
Introduction Ted Bundy believed to have evaded justice for many years, travelling around the United States, killing and torturing girls because of his good looks and charm (Bio). No one saw signs of a psychopath being hot-headed, manipulative, exploitative, irresponsible, self-centered, shallow, unable to bond, lacking in empathy and anxiety, which is what Ted Bundy has been described (Tanay, 2009). He was a man of six feet Navy brown hair and believed to have penetrating eyes. Bundy was a high achiever, graduation from University of Washington with honors in psychology, and was very involved in both politics and the community, even working as a volunteer for the Seattle crisis hotline, counseling people who were contemplating suicide and had other problems. No one thought to imagine that behind this entire exterior was a serial killer waiting to surface (Philbin &
