Non-Fiction Biography
To get "inside Peterson's head," the national media turned
to forensic psychiatrist Keith Ablow, M.D. His appearances
resulted in a deluge of e-mails with most stating that his
theories about the spawning of a killer inside Peterson were
the first that made sense to them. Members of Scott's and
Laci's families have also stated that his comments were the
first that helped them understand what happened inside
Scott's mind.
Inside the Mind of Scott Peterson takes
readers into the mind of a killer, including: · How
Scott Peterson's empathy for others was shattered by a three
generation "blood line" of childhood loss and
abandonment
· How Peterson came to expertly "imitate"
a person, while having no true, core self
· Early
signs that Peterson was losing his capacity to empathize
with others
· Why an addiction to sex took root in
his psyche
· Why Peterson's meeting Amber Frey while
his wife was pregnant triggered the "perfect" psychological
storm
· Clues to Peterson's guilt in his interviews
with Gloria Gomez and Diane Sawyer
· What Peterson
was probably thinking as he listened to testimony in court
and received his death sentence
Why Peterson could
kill again, if released.
Using contacts at the FBI,
and hiring private investigators and researchers, Keith
Ablow delves deeply into Scott Peterson’s life story to
answer the question: How did an All American boy turn into a
ruthless killer?
As the nation continues to follow
the case this summer, and Peterson awaits appeal on his
death sentence, Ablow's extensive psychological profile will
be a window on Peterson's soul and the pathological gears
turning in his mind.
