Doctor of behavioral science and pastor Michael Caparrelli spent 100 hours with convicted serial killer David Berkowitz in an effort to better understand the reasons he committed the notorious Son of Sam murders, which terrorized New York City during the late ‘70s. His highly compelling book on the subject is called The Monster Mirror. Michael Caparrelli’s approach is unique. Not only is he a doctor of human behavior, he’s also pastor who regularly lectures on mental health in churches, schools, and prisons throughout the country. In other words, he looks at psychology through a biblical worldview.

He applies this perspective with great insight and compassion to his many conversations with David Berkowitz and arrives as at an understanding of the psychological and paranormal factors behind the 'Son and Sam' killings revealed by David Berkowitz himself, and gives us great insight into evil and how it preys on vulnerable humans. Said David Berkowitz during their meeting: "Truly, I deserve to die. There are no excuses. But I do want to explain as best as I can the psychological and paranormal factors behind this madness as a cautionary tale for other troubled young people.”
