Pathologies, Social Psychology & Interactions, General, Mental Illness 

Antisocial behavior takes on many forms, from rebellious teens with green hair and pierced skin to the truly dangerous homicidal individuals who fill our newspapers with horrible crimes.
The rise in sociopathic behavior among adults, adolescents, and children, whether in tense inner cities or tranquil suburban and rural settings, is masterfully chronicled by Dr. Wolman, a leading psychologist and noted expert who has studied these trends for over half a century. Reports point to a showdown between dangerous individuals- the violent, the charming and the passive-and the societies that create them.
Dr. Wolman examines the familial and societal causes and proposes clear-cut solutions, including radical changes to our educational system and the mass media. He explores the social and cultural factors that must be changed if free societies are to reduce this alarming trend.
