The
Cases That Haunt
Us: From Jack the
Ripper to Jonbenet
Ramsey, the FBI's
Legendary Mindhunter
Sheds Light on the
Mysteries That Won't
Go Away
by John E. Douglas,
Mark Olshaker
By applying
criminal personality profiling
techniques he developed while
stalking more current killers,
Douglas provides a fresh, sage
outlook on some disturbing
history. He also sheds new
light on San Francisco's Zodiac
Killer, the Black Dahlia murder,
Bambi Bembenek, the Boston
Strangler, and the continuing
mystery of who killed 6-year-old
JonBent Ramsey. Douglas sometimes
reveals his chief suspect;
other times he simply narrows
down who the killer is not.
In the JonBent mystery (in
which Douglas was hired by
the Ramseys to find the killer),
he presents a convincing case
for why he believes the girl's
parents are not guilty of murder.
Douglas is founder of the FBI's
Serial Killer Profiling Unit.

The
Explosive Child: A New Approach
for Understanding and Parenting
Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible
Children
by
Ross W. Greene
Flexibility
and tolerance are learned skills.For reasons
that are poorly understood, a few children
don't "get" this part of socialization. Medical
experts haven't helped much: the flurry of
acronyms and labels (Tourette's, ADHD, ADD,
etc.), the only new development is alternative
vocabulary to describe the effects. Ross Greene,
a pediatric psychologist instructor at Harvard
Medical School, makes ground with detail,
and sympathy. Quoted sessions with parents
and children, the origins of "meltdowns" and
developing strategies for avoidance.
