Synopsis: This thought-provoking and timely book?from a #1 New York Times bestselling novelist and noted child psychologist reveals the factors that often lead to explosive and shocking juvenile violence.ﾃ??Ethically and morally, kids are works in progress. Throw in psychopathy and youﾃ??ve got a soul that will never be complete.ﾃ?ﾝIn this powerful, disturbing book, bestselling author and noted child psychologist Jonathan Kellerman shines a penetrating light on antisocial youthﾃ??kids who kill without remorseﾃ??asserting that ﾃ??psychopathic tendencies begin very early in life, as young as three, and they endure.ﾃ?ﾝ?Criticizing our quick impulse to blame violent movies or a ﾃ??morally bankruptﾃ?ﾝ?society, Kellerman convinces us that it is the kids themselves who need to be examined. Carefully. How do children become cold-blooded killers? Kellerman warns that todayﾃ??s aggressive bully is tomorrowﾃ??s Mafia don, cult leader, or genocidal dictator. Violently psychopathic youths possess an overriding need for power, control, and stimulation, and all display a complete lack of regard for the humanity of others. He examines the origins of psychopathy and the ever-shifting debate between nurture and nature, offering some controversial solutions to dealing with homicidal tendencies in children.As timely as todayﾃ??s headlines, more gripping than fiction, Savage Spawn is a provocative look at the links between society and biology, children and violence. Kellermanﾃ??s sobering message will remain with you long after the last page is turned.
