Now we can all live the lean dream – if we can afford the drugs. But I fear the true cost may prove far greater

New Book by Professor Brett Kahr

THE LATEST BOOK BY PROFESSOR BRETT KAHR.

FORENSIC PSYCHOANALYSIS:

FROM SUB-CLINICAL PSYCHOPATHS TO SERIAL KILLERS.

(Routledge / Taylor and Francis Group, 2025).

Part of the “Forensic Psychotherapy Monograph Series”, sponsored by the International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy.

https://www.routledge.com/Forensic-Psychoanalysis-From-Sub-Clinical-Psychopaths-to-Serial-Killers/Kahr/p/book/9781032901176?srsltid=AfmBOoq0ZRrH4w2FKsWiXk7my54JX6-N3fmSx24eV9XSocK2-5SjtD07.

            In his latest, solo-authored book, Professor Brett Kahr shares his multi-decade experience of working with forensic patients from a psychoanalytical perspective, exploring the traumatic origins of devastating crimes such as genital exhibitionism, paedophilia, and murder.  He also examines the psychology of what he has entitled as “sub-clinical psychopathy”, namely, the extreme violent fantasies and threats in those individuals who do not actually break the law but who destroy, nevertheless, the sense of safety in their own families.  This book offers hope that, if we can encourage more early psychotherapeutic intervention, we will develop the capacity to reduce the risk of global assaults.

Who’s Been Sleeping in Your Head: The Secret World of Sexual Fantasies

By Brett Kahr

Book cover of Who's Been Sleeping in Your Head: The Secret World of Sexual Fantasies

What is my book about?

Based upon a transatlantic study of the private sexual fantasies of over 20,000 British and American adults (aged eighteen and older), this book investigates the deep psychological underbelly of the erotic thoughts of human beings. A very experienced psychotherapist and psychologist, Professor Brett Kahr has examined not only the nature of sexual fantasies (both coital fantasies and masturbatory fantasies) but, also, the deep-seated origins of these private mental thoughts, often based upon traumatic, early-life experiences. For those individuals whose secret sexual preoccupations might have become a source of distress within one’s personal intimate relationships or, indeed, within one’s private life, Kahr’s book offers an opportunity to understand this little-discussed part of the human mind and might thus help those in distress to seek proper psychological treatment.
