Editor's Note:
This is a collection of stories about some of the most unusual men and women a psychiatrist could treat. The thread linking these stories is the methodology of diagnosing and treating mental illness within the harsh world of a maximum-security prison. This book resolves fundamental psychiatric concepts like antisocial personality, schizophrenia, bipolar, substance abuse and sexual perversions and explores the contiguity between these disorders and criminality. The author addresses many questions that perplex both psychiatrists and criminologists. Why do some very bright individuals wind up in jail? What kind of person gets arrested over and over again, for the same offenses? What is it like for women behind bars? Filled with first-hand interviews of some of the hardest criminals in a modern high-security prison, this book presents a differentiated view of the criminal mind and the day-to-day difficulties mental health professionals face while treating The Mad and The Bad.
