“Although these are tales of depravity and murder, they
are told by a gifted physician, whose literary talents and
compassion are manifest in every line. In her hands, they
become spellbinding narratives in which a skilled teacher
takes us on a voyage o f discovery, in order to share her
insights and understanding o f minds so disordered that
they are capable o f conceiving the vicious acts described
here.”

“Dr. Dorothy Otnow Lewis offers a refreshing and
compelling look at the workings o f the criminal mind.
After years o f interviewing and studying some o f the
most heinous killers on death row. Dr. Lewis reveals
startling truths, some o f them shocking and some tragic.
I like her style; she has stepped down from the ivory
tower o f forensic psychiatry and writes with the
compassion, humor and insight of a real person.
Guilty By Reason O f Insanity will prove fascinating to
every student of the psychotherapy and/or organic brain
dysfunction that drives killers to do what they do.”

ceived a call from a neighbor of

ers learned from acquaintances o f
the individual that the individual
was despondent, had been drink­
ing, and had access to firearms,
S.E.R.T. and hostage negotiators
were summoned, the area cordoned
off, and neighbors evacuated.
After hours of unsuccessfully try-
ing to contact the subject, S.E.R.T.
m em bers entered the residence
shortly after 9:00 PM and found
the body o f a 28-year-old white
male, who reportedly lived at the
address. Near the body officers
found a firearm.
