SILICON VALLEY CONFIDENTIAL TV SERIES

This TV series is based on real cases from Dr. Brady’s 25 years of work in Silicon Valley as a forensic psychologist. SVC’s stories are culled from tens of thousands of hours of Brady’s analysis exploring why some residents of one of California’s richest regions ended up committing heinous crimes. A secondary theme in the series, after discovering what makes Silicon Valley’s criminals tick, is pulling back the curtain to find out why the Valley’s corporate technology billionaires don’t want the public to know what’s really happening.

SVC can be seen as a “psychological archeology” of the criminal mind. SVC’s focus upon the Silicon Valley is unique. It looks beyond the sparkling, PR-fueled façade of the world’s technology epicenter to show audiences the real darkness that lies just beneath the surface. This is the underbelly that the jet-setting masters of the Valley don’t want you to see, and in which a malleable media is complicit in hiding—until now, with SVC!

It has been more than fifty years since presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, RFK, was murdered at the fashionable Ambassador Hotel in L.A. only five years after his brother John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. The alleged shooter who gunned down RFK, the man with an odd name, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, (Sirhan) a twenty-four-year old Palestinian was apprehended at the scene of the crime with the smoking gun still in his hand leading to the conclusion that this seemingly was an open and shut case, or was it?

Dr. Brady is a criminologist and California licensed forensic psychologist. He has written five books on addictions and as a celebrity analyst he strongly supports the position that some rich and famous celebrities steal because they are they are addicted to the thrill of it. His books include: Men of Steal (a complete analysis of the three men in this article) and Treat Me Right- Help For Behavioral Addictions Including Theft/Fraud Crimes. He also devotes his professional time to helping criminal defendants who have been falsely charged and convicted of crimes they didn’t commit.

It is reasonable to assume the doctors had an explanation why they were medicating so many women using powerful and mostly ineffective psychoactive drugs to treat sometimes even minor legal-social-psychological issues (e.g., shoplifting).

men-of-stealCelebrity offenders must figure out why they steal or face jail! Psychological analysis reveal they aren’t greedy—they are addicted to the “rush” associated with theft. They need therapy but will they see “the light” because this could be the end of the road? An in depth analysis of celebrity theft-addiction has not previously been addressed in a true crime book. Dr. Brady’s new book isn’t a “who dunit” mystery but it is a “Why they dunit!” The book features three special celebrity cases Dr. Brady has already analyzed and written about in his new book.

In fact, many of them get worse! The first book, ‘Why Rich Women Shoplift’ examines the case histories of wealthy female shoplifters who, despite seemingly having it all, make the self-defeating decision to steal. This book focuses on women shoplifters and their dependence of unnecessary psychiatric drugs. The collusion between Big Pharma and psychiatry helps foster a state of shoplifter learned helplessness.

Winona Ryder, as a case in point, stole lots of stuff, but did she receive the necessary diagnosis and treatment she needed? Dr. Brady has analyzed many celebrity theft cases and concludes that, “most of these people never got the necessary help they needed, thus the bad news—they may re-offend.” Often the treatment of a behavioral, addictive disorder like stealing proves ineffective. He presents the cases of six psychologically troubled theft-addicts who he personally treated using a variety of therapies.

Most importantly, Dr. Brady emphasizes, “It’s not about the stuff,” nor is it need or greed that drives them.

This book deals with institutionalized drug offenders committed to the California Rehabilitation Center, CRC in Southern California. During the 1920’s this correctional facility was a health spa catering to some of Hollywood’s biggest motion picture stars.

Later the State of California purchased the property converting it to a drug treatment center.
