The Psychology of Serial Killers with Dr. Rachel Toles comes to The Wilma on April 14, 2026, for a gripping and thought-provoking masterclass on one of the most disturbing subjects of our time.

Renowned clinical psychologist and criminal expert Dr. Rachel Toles dives deep into the minds of history’s most infamous serial killers, exploring how many lived undetected among their neighbors for years. Through real-world case studies and expert analysis, she confronts the questions we’re both compelled and unsettled to ask: How does a seemingly ordinary person become a mass murderer? Why are we so fascinated by them? And what patterns and myths surround serial crime?

With extensive experience in clinical and forensic psychology — including court evaluations, expert testimony, and work with incarcerated individuals — Dr. Toles brings insight, rigor, and clarity to a subject often clouded by sensationalism.

This is an intense, educational, and eye-opening experience that challenges how we understand criminal behavior and the concept of “evil.”
