Unraveling Insanity and Other Stories Albert Drukteinis Jd

The role of story in criminal cases--and in the way we think about our own lives--is profound. In this latest book from Dr. Albert Drukteinis, the forensic psychiatrist tells stories about crimes and the resulting prosecutions, revealing how narratives shape the investigations and how our own stories are not as reliable as we think. Written in nontechnical language and using examples of psychiatric testimony drawn from Dr. Drukteinis' thirty-five-year career, UNRAVELING INSANITY AND OTHER STORIES: NARRATIVES OF A FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIST guides you through the thought process of a forensic psychiatrist at work, from the analysis of a crime scene to assessing criminal intent. Discover how forensic psychiatrists use scientific evidence and story models to draw conclusions, and along the way, learn how to evaluate your own stories.
