'This book contains a brilliant and moving series of descriptions and analyses of the special difficulties encountered by mental health professionals who attempt to help our society solve one of the most complex, dangerous and destructive problems it faces...if we are to improve our ability to optimize, rather than cripple, the institutions and professionals to whom we have delegated the responsibility to treat mentally disturbed violent offenders, then the legislators, and the voters who elect the legislators, will need to be informed about what helps and what hinders them from performing that task. That is what this book describes and explains in elegant detail, and that is why I hope it will have as wide a readership as possible.'

- James Gilligan, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, New York University
