Anna Motz’s extensive background in clinical psychology, particularly her focus on offender patients, provides a foundation for exploring the psychology behind female violence. She explains that her training in forensic psychotherapy allows her to address both conscious and unconscious motivations that lead to unusual or violent crimes. This dual approach—considering both thoughts and deeper psychological conflicts—offers a comprehensive view of what drives women to commit acts of violence.
