In her work "The Romance Scamming King", Jasmine Buchner focuses on a deep psychological analysis of the perpetrator-victim dynamic.
The psychological structure of her characters can be divided into three central aspects:
1. The Psychopathology of the Perpetrator ("Scammer")
In Buchner’s psychological thriller, the perpetrator is not depicted as a mere criminal, but as a manipulative strategist.
- Power Games & Narcissism: The scammer often acts out of a sense of absolute superiority. According to Buchner, a strong emphasis is placed on the inner abysses and obsessions that drive these actions.
- Methodical "Love Bombing": The psychological structure of the perpetrator is designed to disable the victim’s defense mechanisms through targeted emotional flooding (love bombing).
2. The Vulnerability and Transformation of the Victim
Buchner illuminates in rich detail how the personality structure of the victim changes under the influence of grooming.
- Emotional Dependency: The characters undergo a development leading from initial hope to total emotional isolation.
- Cognitive Dissonance: A central element is the psychological conflict between the perceived "great love" and the increasingly suspicious facts, which ultimately leads to a paralysis of judgment.
3. Authenticity through a "Connection to Reality"
Since Buchner processes her own experiences, her characters are distinguished by a high level of credibility. The characters are not archetypes; instead, they reflect real psychological processes as described in specialist literature on the subject of cyber fraud.
Their works thus serve not only as entertainment, but function as case studies on the manipulation of the human psyche.
