Dangerous Minds
'Exceptional . . . This thoughtful and engrossing book is as much about law as it is about minds' THE TIMES What drives someone to commit murder? What makes some people lash out on those that they love? Can we predict whether a child will grow into a violent adult, and what can we do to prevent it? These are just some of the questions that forensic psychiatrist Dr Taj Nathan interrogates every day in his work with violent offenders. Stories about violent or deviant behaviour are the subject of sensational headlines or inflated dramatic portrayals, but infinitely more complex and intriguing are the real people behind labels like 'psychopath', 'sex offender' or 'serial killer'. Taking us from secure hospital wards to high-security prisons to courtrooms, Dangerous Minds offers compelling and deeply compassionate accounts of ten people whose lives have been shaped by violence. From the impact of traumatic events in childhood to the evolutionary and cultural influences on the emergence of the social mind, this book is an insider's account of the origins of violence that asks its readers to re-evaluate all that they think they know about the people society deems most dangerous.

Mentes impiedosas
O que leva alguém a cometer um assassinato? O que faz alguém atacar as pessoas que ama? Podemos prever se uma criança se tornará um adulto violento? É possível fazer algo para evitar isso? Estas são apenas algumas das questões que o psiquiatra forense Taj Nathan investiga todos os dias em seu trabalho com criminosos perigosos... Histórias sobre comportamentos violentos ou anormais são assunto de manchetes sensacionalistas e de retratos dramáticos inflados, mas as pessoas por trás de rótulos como “psicopata”, “agressor sexual” e “assassino em série” são infinitamente mais complexas e intrigantes. Em Mentes impiedosas, Taj Nathan, especialista internacional em psiqui...
