It was Freud, borrowing Nietszche's phrase from Thus Spake
Zarathustra, who described as 'pale criminals' those who committed
criminal acts out of deep-lying (unconscious) guilt. The focus of
this challenging and penetrating study is on this type of
criminality. The book bring sa 'unifying vision and theoretical
integration' to the array of perspectives and theories in this
field. He draws together for the first time the thoughts on the
subject of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Melanie Klein, Donald
Winnicott and Jacques Lacan, examines the contributions of both
orthodox and evolutionary psychiatry, and explores the role of
family experience in shaping the 'pale criminal'. The result is an
ambitious theory of criminality; a depth-psychological
psychoanalytic model of the human being.In the early chapters, the
aurthor provides a judicious and even-handed exposition of his
chosen thinkers' views, before proceeding to an impressive and
well-argued dialectical synthesis in which each theoretical
perspective is used to correct, qualify or supplement the others.
In a diffuse and divided field, this volume should provide an
indispensable source of clarification and a stimulus to open
creative debate.
