Perfiles psiquiátricos de hombres asesinos

In our current society there is a lively debate about whether or not psychopathy should be considered a mental illness. This book addresses this question in depth to draw a true and well-founded profile of the serial killer as a subject lacking empathy, which predisposes him to murder if in this way satisfies his basic drives. But what really differentiates a psychopath from a non-psychopath, when both guys commit horrendous crimes? César Alcalá, who has extensive experience as a researcher, together with Abigail Mora, a psychologist specializing in forensic, legal and criminological psychopathology, convey to the reader the complex portrait of eleven personalities who committed criminal acts of singular brutality and an apparent lack of scruples. The knowledge of these cases and the ins and outs that surrounded their macabre stories reveals the way of proceeding of these individuals and allows us to draw truly transcendent conclusions when it comes to discerning between the mentally ill person and the subject who kills for pure and exclusive pleasure. A work as necessary as it is shocking. "After each crime, the serial killer (AS) thinks about things that he could have done to make the murder more successful. This, among other things, will lead him to act again." Robert Resslet, an FBI agent, who coined the term serial killer". Individuals lacking this gene would have a predisposition to violence, although that does not mean that they will become future killers." Adrian Raine, an American researcher, maintains that there is a gene responsible for the production of a hormone that regulates neurotransmitters involved in impulse control.
