[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 666068, member: 14557"] This is not what you asked about but something I have been thinking recommending for you some time now. I really enjoyed it. [URL]http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18248486-the-psychopath-whisperer[/URL] It is Kent A. Kiehl's non fiction book The Psycopath Whisperer Dr Kiehl is a neuroscientist who researches psychopathy and did those MRI scans of psychopath's brains. He tells about that research in this book. Very fascinating if not light read. Most interesting to me was the part, where they have recently seemed to find a way to make a difference with teens, who score very high in Hare's Youth Psychopathy checklist. This program is in fact in Wisconsin (Mendota Treatment Centre), where they treat those juvenile offenders of Wisconsin that can not be managed in any other institutional setting (and of many score very high in that checklist.) And they are able to make their likelihood to reoffend even less than general population of juvenile offenders and especially reduce the risk for violent offences remarkably by concentrating catching and rewarding even the smallest pro-social behaviours instead of giving consequences for anti-social behaviours and being very short term both with rewards and consequences. So, non-fiction and so not what you asked, but something that could interest you. [/QUOTE]
