Halting the Sexual Predators among Us

Halting the Sexual Predators among Us

Duane L. Dobbert Ph.D.

Recently, the National Center for Victims of Crime reported annual figures showing 103,845 children were sexually abused, while in that same year there was a 20% increase in all rape incidents and a 33% increase in sexual assaults. Incarceration and therapy have not reduced the rates, points out this author. The rate of incarceration has increased, but incidence of sex crimes is not waning. Dobbert warns we must all play a vital role to reduce such crimes, by prevention. The seasoned forensic examiner enables us to see life through the sexual predator's eyes, to understand the motives and intentions of people with abnormal and uncontrollable desires. He argues we can create a safer world by removing the opportunity for such people to act on their ideas. The author clearly explains disorders from exhibitionism to pedophilia, and presents scenes that illustrate precursor behaviors shown by people preparing to act on such disordered thinking. Also illustrated are stalking patterns common to mentally ill people who commit sexual assaults or lust murders, including the activities of Kenneth Bianci, the Hillside Strangler, and Jeffrey Dahmer, whose serial lust homicides horrified the world. Community activists, teachers, principals, police officers, prosecutors, social workers, and students of criminal justice, forensic psychology, and psychopathology will find this volume of interest.

Understanding Personality Disorders

Understanding Personality Disorders

Personality-disordered people are not uncommon in our neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, or even our homes. They include people who are persistently paranoid, obsessive-compulsive, antisocial, or overly dependent. Most of them do not realize the hardships they create for themselves and their families. This book is an introductory guide for those who live and work around personality- disordered people, and for general readers seeking illustrations of the disorders. Dobbert illustrates warning signs that can be missed and walks readers through scenarios that are common with personality-disordered people. He explains how such maladies might develop, and most important, how they can be successfully addressed.

Psychopathy, Perversion, and Lust Homicide

Psychopathy, Perversion, and Lust Homicide

Duane L. Dobbert Ph.D.

In this pointed study of serial killers, internationally known Forensic Psychologist Duane Dobbert shows us how - even years before the crimes were commmitted- the perpetrators of lust homicides exhibited behaviors showing certain mental and sexual disorders which grew to fuel the horiffic murders. Dobbert's analysis, covering 13 killers from Herman Mudgett, who confessed to 27 murders in the late 1800s, to Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed 17 young men and boys between 1978 and 1991 - looks at their early lives and development of Antisocial Personality Disorder, as well as sexual disorders including sexual sadism and necrophilia. Special attention is paid to early signs of these disorders that were missed, mishandled, minimized or ignored by professionals in law enforcement, education, health care and criminal justice. The author demonstrates how and why most serial murders are sexually motivated, and fueled by this combination of psychopathy and sexual disorder. Having a clear understanding of the precursor behaviors could benefit us by enabling prediction and prevention of such crimes, says Dobbert. He also addresses signs of psychopathy and sexual disorders that should send red flags up to any adult or parent looking to protect their loved ones from harm. Dobbert offers psychological and social history of each killer, from early life on, which molded each into an ultimate monster. Lucas, for example, was born to a prostitute and an alcoholic father who lost his legs in a train accident. He was forced to watch his mother perform sexual acts with clients, regularly beaten and one head injury from a beating put him into a coma. His mother curled his hair into ringlets and dressed him as a girl, sending him to school like that. Lucas showed all the signs of Conduct Disorder by the time he was 10 and already an alcoholic. He was obsessed with sex by the time he was 13, and had sex with his half-brother, as well as animals he would trap, torture and kill in sexual rituals. Lucas was convicted as a teenager of a burglary, and sent to a training school, where he was disruptive and attempted several escapes, but released a year later. He confessed later to raping his 12-year-old niece the next day. Each of these killers have a unique psychological development, but all demonstrated early the patterned behavior of psychopathy and sexual disorder, explains Dobbert.

Diane Ross-Glazer thought of herself as a parenting expert. After all, she was a psychotherapist specializing in parenting with two children of her own. She felt confident in her ability to guide parents through the pitfalls of raising children...that is, until she had her third child, Alexa. Right from the start, Alexa's prickly, unpredictable behavior led to tears, temper tantrums, and eventually, screaming matches. It also led Dr. Ross-Glazer on a journey to discover what goes wrong in the communication between parents and their children.What Dr. Ross-Glazer discovered was that she and Alexa were speaking different languages: She was speaking in the language of thoughts while Alexa was speaking in the language of feelings. To communicate better, Dr. Ross-Glazer would have to relearn a language now foreign to her - the language of feelings. In the process of learning that foreign language, Dr. Ross-Glazer realized a vital psychological pathway exists between thoughts and feelings. For children (and adults) to be emotionally healthy the pathway, which she called the Head-Heart Connection, has to be in tact. When that pathway is disrupted feelings can became trapped inside the heart, causing behavior to go awry. In When Parenting is a Foreign Language, Dr. Ross-Glazer clearly and compassionately provides parents with crucial insight and specific tools to help their child avoid the pain of a Head and Heart that have become disconnected.In addition, Dr. Ross-Glazer discusses the importance of discipline as she shows parents how to successfully set boundaries and maintain control without yelling, so children can keep their valuable Head-Heart Connection intact. In this book, Dr. Ross-Glazer will: *Introduce you to the simple, yet vital concept of the Head-Heart Connection. *Teach you step by step how to repair the Head-Heart Connection should it break and how to maintain that connection once repaired. *Demonstrate how consistent, child-centered discipline helps keep the head and heart connected.*Show you how your actions impact your child's psychological development.*Help you learn to speak your child's language and understand your child's thought processThough Parenting as a Second Language is directed at parents, the concepts Dr. Ross-Glazer teaches apply to adults as well. Everyone can learn something from reading this entertaining, yet highly instructive parenting book.

The L.A. Diet: The Eating Plan That Raises Your Metabolism to Lose Fat Forever

AN EATING PLAN THAT CHANGES LIFESTYLES TO LOSE WEIGHT PERMANENTLY The L.A. Diet is a healthy eating plan that sets you on an unwavering course to permanent weight loss and lifelong health. It presents a comprehensive theory based on scientific evidence that explains why people become overweight. More importantly it explains how to alter diet and lifestyle to permanently shed unwanted body fat without ending up cold, tired, and hungry. The L.A. Diet Program will teach you how to eat generous portions of the right kinds of foods and to eat more frequently ("grazing") -- to satisfy your hunger--and still lose weight. The L.A. Diet explains why complex carbohydrate foods stoke your "metabolic furnace" to burn more calories. You'll learn why eating fat makes you fat by slowing metabolic heat production. This drives you to consume more calories and store the extra fat calories as insulating body fat. The L.A. Diet is based on an eating plan that includes low fat, high complex carbohydrate, high fiber foods. It encourages generous portions of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. The L.A. Diet introduces the concept of caloric density when evaluating foods rather than simply focusing on calories. Low calorically dense foods are those foods that have less concentrated calories based on their weight. You can enjoy generous portions of these foods --they'll fill you up, reduce appetite and hunger -- and help you lose weight. This is an important concept for so many dieters who are tired of restricting food intake, limiting portions, counting calories, and going hungry all day. The L.A. Diet explains why other diets don't work and why restricting caloric intake only creates an unresolvable conflict between the intellect and the appetite. The L.A. Diet tells you why dieting creates eating disorders and why eating disorders are not the cause of obesity but simply the result of irrational attempts to diet. The L.A. Diet takes the blame of past failures off the dieter's shoulders and places them squarely on the numerous irrational programs promising rapid weight loss while setting up the dieter for long term failure. This book first sets people straight about the myths and realities of weight loss and then provides a comprehensive "how to" section. The second part of The L.A. Diet explains how you can adopt a "grazing" style of eating which our bodies are designed by nature to thrive on. It contains scores of nutritional advice, eating plans, menus and recipes as well as nutrition charts to get you started. Tips on stocking your kitchen, balancing your menu plans for optimal nutrition, entertaining at home in style, travelling and making dining out a healthy experience. More than 100 recipes help you get started and show you how to graze to your heart's (and stomach's) content. You will learn how to enjoy food, lose weight, and improve your overall health. All of the recipes are created low in fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar. You can enjoy guilt-free eating and at the same time lose weight. The best part also is that you will be eating foods that help reduce your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and type II diabetes. The L.A. Diet promises enjoyable, delicious food, eating to satisfy your appetite, improved health, and permanent weight loss without the negative consequences of restricting calories, and feeling chronic hunger pangs. The L.A. Diet is truly an eating plan for a longer, healthier life "Unlike so many books on the subject of dieting and weight control, The L.A. Diet undergirds all of its recommendations with scientific data and their explanation". --Hans Fisher, Ph.D. Chairman, Nutrition Department Rutgers University
