A while ago there was an American series, Lie To Me ( Lie to me ), in which a psychologist was leading a company to which he hired the FBI to investigate whether an alleged suspect was telling the truth or not.
Despite the fantasy of the program, there is actually a part of the criminalist that is responsible for studying gestures, rictus, wrinkles, looks, to determine if someone lies or not, if someone invents or remembers, in short, if someone can be guilty or innocent.
Well there is a new discipline (the truth, no so new) that he studies the passage of emotions through the face, the imprint left by the traumas or violence that have been experienced, and those who use it say that he can even help avoid aggressive tendencies.Do you follow us?
Psychomorphology, is it possible to recognize a murderer and read the evil in the face?
For many considered pseudoscience , this branch of the ps icologia analyzes the features as a whole and the way in which, as we mentioned, emotions, thoughts and experiences are carved in our face.
The look, the smile of the smile, even the size of our nose say more of us than any word.
According to the authors of the book The faces of evil (Esther Mellado and Deogracia Mellado Piedra),
"facial psychomorphology helps to know the individual to the millimeter and to know in advance their possible reactions and behaviors".
Although, they clarify emphatically, no is to say if someone is good or bad .In this interesting book they try to read the evil in the face of numerous criminals, among which you can count parricides, pedophiles, terrorists, dictators and magnic go, and analyze them, to find out what could have led them to be as they were.
Because here it would be the heart of the matter: if the experiences are marked on our face they necessarily modify it, to the point that in the It would be reflected in what we have become, even in what we want to hide.
What psychomorphology can do
Beyond its detractors, it is undoubtedly an exciting discipline.The traits are studied as a whole, not separately, and obviously you cannot know, after analyzing a face, if that person is going to kill or commit another crime, but if you can deduce psychologically as it is, and as long as this prevents certain trends.
A clear example is illustrated by the analysis of the "Beauty Beast" Irma Grese, famous Nazi criminal, and she says:
"Pod We see photographs before his perverse stage in which his gaze is angelic.If we look at the subsequent images we will see how his expression has changed completely.It can be deduced that something dramatic and violent happened in his life and that he therefore acted in the way in which He did it.”
Naturally, not all people who have bad things happen in life become murderers, we should also consider certain pathologies or psychopathies that allow these tendencies.
However, this contribution of psychology is not enriching, which not only serves to "reveal" rapists or murderers, but also as a tool for the human resources departments of some companies, interested in potential of individuals.
What do you think of this? Do you think it is possible to read the evil on the face of another person, as in the case of Charles Manson?
