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.
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.
