Dire Emotions and Lethal Behaviors explores the primary
motivational system in human beings. Based on the work of C. G.
Jung, James Hillman, Louis Stewart and Silvan Tomkins, Charles
Stewart investigates the psychology of the innate affects, with a
focus towards the emotional motivation of adolescents and young
adults who have killed others, themselves, or both.
It is suggested that social isolation, dissociation of the
personality, unbearable emotions, and possession by affects are
necessary conditions for both homicide and suicide. Stewart argues
that these conditions result from deep-seated emotional
psychopathology which involves both the positive affects of the
life instinct - Interest and Joy, and the crisis affects - Fear,
Anguish, Anger, and Shame/Contempt.
Illustrated throughout with case studies of individuals who have
committed homicide, suicide, or both, Dire Emotions and Lethal
Behaviors aims to discover the emotional motivations for such
behaviors so that through education and psychological treatment,
such tragic outcomes can be prevented. This book will be of
interest to professionals and students in the fields of mental
health and criminal justice.
