Product Information

Sharon vakası; tıbbi ilgi almak maksadı ile fiziksel semptomlara sebep olma, belirtileri abartma ile kendini gösteren tıbbi istismar suçunu, ailesini kaybetmiş ve travmatik yaşantıları olan bir kadının bakışaçısı ile sunuyor. Evet yok yoktu bu kitapta ve tam olarak kafa dağıtmalık bir oturuşta okunabilecek bir kitap. Öncelikle beklediğimden daha atesliydi. Coop ve dirty talkları 💥 eridik eridik. Ayrıca Tatum'dan etkilendiğini anladığı anda sadece ona odaklanması ve başka kimseye bakmaması..severiz böyle karakterleri🤌 Every one of the chapters made for a good read for me. The broadening out of chapters to cover more general information worked well for me. As an example Kezia's case - she killed her support worker - allows the author to look at the topic of female violence generally. She also brings in the prevailing views on the subject among psychiatrists who are largely male. Other topics covered include PTSD and sexual abuse. It is probably fair to say that some of the stories make for quite challenging reads. Across the book there are topics of race and the rationale behind the request for a therapy sessions. And although rage has often been an effective tool to focus attention and shift narratives, it rarely produces policy gains or positively shifts societal perspective." The Devil You Know discusses a number of Dr Adshead's cases throughout her impressive career. It was certainly eye-opening in a number of ways, and sometimes heart-breaking, but unfortunately as a whole it didn't work all that well for me. Note that this is clearly an unpopular opinion, as my fellow readers all loved it. Some cases I found fascinating, others much less so. I disliked the sometimes flowery language, and things like the literary quotes the doctor would think of when she stepped into a room for a consultation that just bugged me and took me out of the experience. Again, this is clearly me being overly sensitive. I also felt that it was somewhat one-sided, monotonous, lots of X or Y grew up in bad circumstances and was exposed to this and that horror and here we are today, with X or Y having committed this or that crime.

you know i was having a really good time with this one but then that 3rd act made me put down the book for weeks because i was so irritated Coop has so much depth to him, which you wouldn't see on your first interaction, but basically he's so tired of being seen as a playboy. He doesn't know what he wants to do with his life, and he adores that T has always known, plus he's always had a softness for he's besties little sister, even though he knows he can never have her. So even though he initially rejects her proposal he finds a way they can both each other: he will "tutor" her during the summer so she's ready for dating life, and she will help him narrow down what he wants to do with his life and help him get ready for classes. We all know they are fighting deeper feelings for one another than they are willing to admit, and I loved how much Coop loved Tatum. He never once made her feel anything less than she deserved and never pressured her for more than she could give, even if it hurt him in the process. Plus she really brought out what was always in him, and made everyone else around them see the potential she always saw. They were just such a cute couple!! What drives someone to commit an act of terrible violence? Drawing from her thirty years’ experience in working with people who have committed serious offenses, Dr. Gwen Adshead provides fresh and surprising insights into violence and the mind. Through a collaboration with coauthor Eileen Horne, Dr. Adshead brings her extraordinary career to life in a series of unflinching portraits.

It’s an interesting and insightful read, and certainly helps to give a different perspective on the “monsters” who commit violent crime. Looking behind the newspaper headlines and into the psyche of those imprisoned in secure hospitals, to see the person rather than the perpetrator. Ilgėjant vakarams ir artėjant tamsiausiam metų laikui, mane patraukia niūresnės knygos. O „Pažįstamą blogį" buvau nusižiūrėjusi nuo pat išleidimo pradžios, tad, kai radau bibliotekoje, iš karto ir pasiėmiau. Taip, šioje knygoje blogio daug, tiksliau, gal daugiau psichikos sutrikimų ir traumų. Tačiau kartu ji be galo kupina žmogiškumo, empatijos ir atjautos. Both Tatum and Cooper are amazing together and as individuals they easily get your attention as well. I like the way their connection grew throughout the story. He answers this question: “The possession of real statewide political power in the South could radically alter the architecture of oppression in this country” (p. 113). drawing from her thirty years of experience in providing therapy to people in prisons and secure hospitals who have committed serious offenses, dr. gwen adshead provides fresh and surprising insights into violence and the mind. alongside doctor and patient, we discover what human cruelty means to perpetrators, experiencing firsthand how minds can change when the people some might label as “evil” are able to take responsibility for their life stories and get to know their own minds.

This book presents eleven case histories* of psychologically disturbed violent offenders. Of course these are not real cases, because there is such a thing as patient confidentiality. So what are they? Tony vakası, seri katillerin psikopat olduğu inancını, psikopati üzerine yapılan araştırmalar ve psikopatik eğilimler gösteren kişilerin karakteristik özellikleri üzerinden irdeliyor. Çocukluk döneminde ihmal ve suistimalin, sosyal beyin oluşturmada nasıl bir etkisi olduğu 3 cinayet işlemiş bir kişinin öyküsü ile birlikte yansıtılıyor. With that overarching idea in mind, the author lays down fact after fact as to why his proposition should be taken seriously and I was absolutely blown away. I’m also 100% convinced that what he proposes can work. This book has good spicy, a good story, fake dating, study sessions, brothers best friend, virgin mets playboy ahh I loved it all.

I was a little bit put off by the first chapter in which she talks about having some compassion for these people, but by the end of the book I completely understand where she is coming from. Her ability to see these people as humans, as something more than their actions, is remarkable....and I'm not sure if that is a personality trait unique to her, or due to the field she is in. Besides my earlier complaints (which like I said, is a very me thing) this was such a sweet brothers best friend romance. I'm hoping we'll get to see a book with T's brother and *her* best friend too! I saw all those sparks flying. *winks* Tiesa, buvo kelios istorijos, kur padėjo jaunai mamai, greit neteksiančiai trečio vaiko globos teisių ir moters, linkusios padeginėti.

It’s possible that victim’s families will feel more than a little distressed should they happen to read this section. In another chapter she is dealing with Marcus who murdered his ex-girlfriend because she told him she was going to start dating other men. Deeply moving . . . the most overwhelming feeling I had on finishing this book was of hope . . . Compassionate and fascinating.’

Adshead presents us with eleven cases consisting of interviews with eleven violent, and physiologically disturbed criminals. These particular people are deemed mentally ill, so they are housed in psychiatric hospital prisons such as Broadmoor, and here, is where I find it difficult to understand. vakası, çocuklarına cinsel istismar suçu ile yargılanan bir adamın utanç duygusu ile çevrilmiş yaşantısını gözler önüne seriyor.
