Adrian Raine Department of Psychology. University of Southern California. USA Jose Sanmartin Queen Sojia Center for the Study of Violence. Valencia. Spain The problems that psychopathic and violent offenders create for society are not restricted to North America. Instead, these offenders create havoc throughout the world, including Europe. In recognition of this fact, Queen Sophia of Spain has promoted a Center for the Study of Violence which recognizes both biological and social contributions to the cause of violence. In November 1999, the Queen Sofia Center for the Study of Violence held its IV International Meeting on the Biology and Sociology of Violence. This fourth Meeting, which was under the Honorary Presidency of H. M. The Queen of Spain, examined the biological, psychological and social aspects of the psychopath, the violent offender, and the serial killer. This book presents some of the key contributions made at that conference and which were first published in Spanish in 2000 by Ariel Press. A key thrust of this book, and a stance shared by all of its contributors, is the notion that violence and psychopathy simply cannot be understood solely, or even fundamentally, in terms of social and environmental forces and influences. Nor do biological factors offer an exclusive explanation.

The last two decades have seen tremendous growth in biological research on psychopathy, a mental disorder distinguished by traits including a lack of empathy or emotional response, egocentricity, impulsivity, and stimulation seeking. But how does a psychopath’s brain work? What makes a psychopath? Psychopathy provides a concise, non-technical overview of the research in the areas of genetics, hormones, brain imaging, neuropsychology, environmental influences, and more, focusing on explaining what we currently know about the biological foundations for this disorder and offering insights into prediction, intervention, and prevention. It also offers a nuanced discussion of the ethical and legal implications associated with biological research on psychopathy. How much of this disorder is biologically based? Should offenders with psychopathic traits be punished for their crimes if we can show that biological factors contribute? The text clearly assesses the conclusions that can and cannot be drawn from existing biological research, and highlights the pressing considerations this research demands.

This book is devoted to schizotypal personality. It provides a comprehensive overview of our knowledge from some of the world's leading researchers in the field, and includes reviews of genetics, neurodevelopment, assessment, psychophysiology, neuropsychology and brain imaging. Central themes are the exploration of categorical and dimensional approaches to the understanding of schizotypal disorder and its relationship to schizophrenia. Valuable introductory and concluding chapters set in context the sometimes divergent opinions and findings presented by the book's contributors and there are reviews of methodological issues and assessment schedules for the benefit of researchers in the field. In setting out to answer, from phenomenological, psychological and neurobiological perspectives, the fundamental question 'What is schizotypal disorder?' and to develop coherent etiological models, this book will serve as an authoritative resource for clinicians and researchers interested in this major personality disorder.

Jaar in, jaar uit gaan levens verloren en vallen dromen in duigen door crimineel gedrag. Miljarden worden uitgegeven aan de bestraffing en preventie ervan. Maar de wetenschap staat voor een doorbraak: op basis van het nieuwste onderzoek tekent zich een volkomen revolutionaire visie af op het antisociale en gewelddadige individu.Wat betekent het bijvoorbeeld dat veel seriemoordenaars een abnormaal lage hartslag hebben? Of dat de meeste moordenaars minder grijze massa in hun hersenen hebben dan anderen? Dat een ondervoed kind uitgroeit tot een impulsieve bendeleider? Of dat een psychopaat een traumatische geboortegeschiedenis heeft?Neurocriminoloog Raine kruipt op overtuigende wijze in het binnenste van de crimineel. Want altijd is er de vraag: waarom heeft hij het gedaan? De laatste wetenschappelijke inzichten leiden tot een geheel nieuw begrip van onze noties van misdaad, straf, gerechtigheid en vrije wil. Wat heeft dat voor gevolgen voor ons rechtssysteem? Moeten we preventief optreden tegen mensen met een criminele aanleg? Deze en andere lastige vragen zijn niet langer te vermijden nu onze kennis van het criminele brein steeds verder toeneemt.
