Requirements: .PDF reader, 9.8 MB
Overview: From the fictions of Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to the real-life events re-counted by Truman Capote and Vincent Bugliosi, murder holds a bizarre fascination for all of us. Why did it happen? What derangement of the mind led to the perpetration of that ultimate act of violence? Now, Dr. Ruotolo, a psychoanalyst of many years’ experience, gives us intriguing insights into the psyche of the murderer.
During his long career, Dr. Ruotolo has been called upon many times as an expert witness at murder trials and he has spent many hours interviewing murderers in order to determine legal sanity.
Here he examines eight of the cases in which he has been involved over the last twenty years. He takes us deep into the disturbed minds of the people he interviewed in order to reveal the delusional patterns of behavior that culminated inevitably in murder.
We all have favorite fairy-tale characters and at some time we have all imagined ourselves as Peter Pans who would never grow up or as Pied Pipers who could fascinate children. Dr. Ruotolo shows how all these murderers – (names were changed to protect the privacy of those who he feels have suffered enough already) allowed their imagined selves to take over die lives to the point where, in a moment of supreme delusion, they committed the irrevocable crime—murder.
Interspersed with these fascinating psychiatric studies are Dr. Ruotolo’s accounts of his personal brushes with murder—some tragic, some macabre, some poignant, some humorous—all told with the disarming charm of one who has learned to know himself and to laugh at himself.
