Review
"Once again, Dr. Stanton Samenow, an internationally renowned authority on this subject, has written a powerful essay on the origins and management of criminals and criminal behavior. Every professional and layman seriously interested in this area should read this thoughtful, experience-based-and often provocative-book."-Melvin A. Gravitz, Ph.D. Certified, American Board of Forensic Psychology
"We are stunned when an accomplished, talented, seemingly responsible person commits a horrific crime. It seems out of character! In his new book, Dr. Samenow explains the seemingly unexplainable. The reader is able to look over this forensic psychologist's shoulder as he figures out the context for the crime. He finds telltale clues in the offender's thinking patterns that reveal that the "out of character" crime is actually very much in character."-John Douglas, Former FBI Profiler Author of Unabomber and Mindhunter
"This well-written book is a page turner that should be read by law enforcement personnel, criminal attorneys, judges, and corrections officials. The book is also a must-read for criminologists and students aspiring to work in the field of criminology. The reader will gain fresh insights into criminal behavior from a seasoned psychologist who has spent countless hours interviewing every type of criminal imaginable from shoplifters to child molesters to spree killers."-Terry Leap, Author of Dishonest Dollars: The Dynamics of White-Collar Crime
"This book is the latest of Dr. Samenow's classics on the subject of the criminal personality. It will provide any reader with realistic insight into the dynamics of the deviant thinking that produces criminal behavior. It will be of interest and has educational value for the layperson, friends and family of criminals and victims, corrections professionals, and mental health professionals. Having been a trial lawyer for eight years and a trial court judge for 32 years, I have come to value Dr. Samenow's several books for the depth of insight and realism provided. I have seen no case, and have heard of none, that does not provide additional support for Dr. Samenow's inspired discernment into the workings of criminal personalities."-Bryan T. Hodges, Senior Judge State of Oregon
"Drawing on his firsthand experiences of interviewing and treating such offenders, Samenow offers numerous case examples of everyday people committing extraordinary crimes, among them the Washington, D.C. sniper Lee Malvo. For law enforcement personnel, criminal justice professionals, criminologists, students, and interested general readers." -
