Praise for this book
This book is urgently needed! We are a violent species living in a violent society with the highest rate of firearm-related deaths in the 'civilized' world, and we are becoming inured by the epidemic of mass murder from terrorist attacks. The contributors to this very readable and celebrated text are all experts in the field and offer us a very comprehensive study of this problem. From the microscopic/ individual developmental to the macroscopic/ societal perspective, this vital contribution is a must-read for all clinicians and students of the human condition.
