Why does America lead the world in mass killings? In this groundbreaking analysis, renowned psychoanalyst Dr. Gerald Schoenewolf delves deep into the psychological abyss of mass violence to uncover answers that go far beyond the usual gun control debate.
Drawing from over 45 years of clinical experience and extensive research, Schoenewolf challenges conventional wisdom by demonstrating that access to weapons alone cannot explain America's epidemic of mass killings. Instead, he reveals how the deadly confluence of personal trauma and cultural dysfunction creates the perfect storm that breeds mass killers.
Through six compelling case studies of notorious American mass killers, Schoenewolf methodically dissects the psychological and social factors that transform troubled individuals into perpetrators of unthinkable violence. His analysis reveals disturbing patterns in childhood trauma, family dysfunction, and cultural alienation that have previously gone unrecognized.
