By Reason of Insanity: A Glimpse into the Lives and Minds of the Criminally Insane

This is an excellent book, a solid, well-written and very smart work. I couldn't put it down. It is superb. Dr. Sternberg is an excellent story-teller and a serious scholar, thinker and writer.-Lewis Aron, PhD This unique volume offers a rare glimpse into unfamiliar-in a sense, even, forbidden-territory for most psychoanalysts and other mental health professionals. The stories are fascinating and sensitively rendered; the writing is as crisp, accessible and compelling as a strong piece of fiction. I recommend this for anyone hungry to explore the darkest recesses of the human mind. I can state with certainty that I have never read anything like it.-Steven Kuchuck, PhD
