In addition to therapy, Dahmer was sent for a psychological evaluation to the Department of Clinical Psychology at the University of Wisconsin, the first of several evaluations that would dominate the later years of his career. He was more candid with the psychologist, Kathy Boese, than with the therapist, though he did tell some outright lies, such as having had a girlfriend in high school, sleeping with a prostitute in Germany, and using prostitutes ever since. Regarding his father, Lionel, he revealed something from his evaluation, though not his feelings; these could only be guessed at. He said his father was always too busy to spend much time with him and was authoritarian to the point of being bossy. He didn't keep in regular contact with the family because he didn't like writing letters and, in any case, "there's not much to tell." It was perfectly clear to the psychologist that Dahmer had no friends and, moreover, lacked interests and hobbies. She noticed that his patience was short, as he shuffled his feet a lot and tapped his fingers on the table; Only a constant supply of cigarettes kept his irritation under control.β οΈπ¨π«β οΈπ¨(The Brian Masters Sanctuaryπ)
