From my caseload I have seen that traumas are often handed down generation to generation in families, whether it is physical, sexual or emotional abuse. <br /><br />With as much mental illness as there was in Albert Fish's family it would be hard to believe that he escaped untraumatized. Hence the trauma (and its symptoms) were passed to another generation.Kellenhttp://www.kellevision.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-6004489475477554112009-08-09T14:52:34.746-07:002009-08-09T14:52:34.746-07:00There have been a few workshops and small conferen...There have been a few workshops and small conferences on the issue of neuroscience variables as predictors of violent and criminal behavior. The quick summary is that sociological variables seem to be better predictors than any neuroscience-based variable (other than clear cases of macroscopic brain damage that cause all sorts of other behavioral problems. But even these variables don't explain much of the variance (certainly, they cannot be used to predict if someone is going to turn violent or not).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
