Bad Men Do What Good Men Dream: A Forensic Psychiatrist Illuminates the Darker Side of Human Behavior

Rating:
Summary: Lacking in emperical evidence
Review: This is a so/so book. Its main weakness is its reliance on sensational stories rather than on creditable evidence as to why people commit horrific crimes. For those who are facisinated with "criminal profiling" this may be worth a read, but for any serious scholar of forensic psychology, pass on this one.

Rating:
Summary: Very creative book by one of psychiatry's gifted writers.
Review: This is an extremely creative book by one of psychiatry's gifted writers that I highly recommend, not only for the intelligent layperson interested in these complex matters, but for all mental health professionals who hope to make a difference.
