Description: Excellent info in LOVERS, KILLERS, HUSBANDS AND WIVES: A Court Psychiatrist Looks at Crimes of Passion. This 175 page hardback by Martin Blinder was published in 1985. From the back cover we read, "Why do many people kill for 'senseless' reasons, and so very often kill those critical to them emotionally? Whats night cause a mother to take the life of her child, or a man that of the women he deeply loves? Indeed most killers and their victims have a preexisting relationship, usually a close, caring one: In America, the bedroom is second only to the highway as the scene of slaughter. Are there as many different explanations for these perverse acts of devotion as there are homicides? Or is there a common bond among amative killers-a shared inability to continue to live in their worlds unless they commit this most unsanctionable of acts? The portraits that you are about to examine of individuals who have killed have a higher degree of immediacy than I am able to present in a courtroom...In these pages, however, they talk to you largely in their own words. Though what they say is perhaps not the 'whole truth,' it is as close as we are likely to come to their own individual truths about homicide. They will demonstrate the traps that men and women can build for themselves from which there is none but a lethal escape, or reveal delusional worlds wherein an utterly irrational act makes perfect sense. They will describe ineluctable feelings of impotency, dependency, and helplessness. They will illuminate the singularly ruthless efficiency of minds unfettered by conscience. Together, they can tell you why people kill." Eye opening reading in this book in very good condition. Just has small close tear at bottom front DJ near spine and some old sticker residue.
