"Forensic Psychoanalysis examines the traumatic psychological origins of violence and explores the ways in which such disasters can be prevented and treated. The book encapsulates Professor Brett Kahr's lengthy career in the field of forensic mental health, investigating all aspects of this vital arena, from the history of criminality to the current-day application of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy to the care of rapists, arsonists, genital exhibitionists, paedophiles, and murderers. This gripping text surveys more than one century of literature on the psychotherapeutic treatment of the criminally insane and provides tremendous insight into the how mental health professions can contribute to the reduction of global violence. Forensic Psychoanalysis will be crucial for all readers interested in both the prevention of criminality and its psychological treatment"-- Provided by publisher. Forensic psychiatry.
