Dr. Helen Farrell is a Board certified Psychiatrist & Forensic Psychiatrist. She is a Harvard Medical School Instructor in psychiatry and a staff psychiatrist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Dr. Farrell describes this conflict saying, “Social media and live streaming can be excellent tools for quick dissemination of news, marketing, and entertainment - but there is more.  Such platforms also provide an outlet for exhibitionism and this can lead to disastrous consequences.” She’s joining us today to teach us more about the affects social media has played in our understating of violence.
