Profiler on Othello syndrome: delusional jealousy can drive people to murder

Profiler Jan Gołębiowski, appearing on the programme "Balans", explains the mechanisms behind Othello syndrome — a disorder in which a person is pathologically convinced their partner is being unfaithful. The delusional jealousy can escalate into acute psychotic episodes and lead to irrational or even violent acts. Gołębiowski also sheds light on the background of the high-profile murder committed by Mieszko R. at a university.
