 Dr. Peter Salerno

I’m Dr. Peter Salerno — a licensed psychotherapist in California, author, and educator specializing in personality pathology, trauma, and clinical psychology. I hold a Doctor of Psychology degree and have trained extensively in family trauma, complex trauma, and personality disorder assessment including administering the Hare Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL-R).
Over the years, I’ve worked in diverse clinical settings and now focus on challenging the myths that dominate mental health discourse — both in professional circles and pop culture.
I'm the author of multiple books, including:
•	The Nature and Nurture of Narcissism – #1 Amazon new release
•	Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance – Top new release in 7 categories
•	Cruelty by Nature - Top Seller on Amazon
This channel is where I "go rogue" — separating psychological fact from fiction, exposing pseudoscience, and debunking mental health myths with real data and real talk.
