Excerpt: Adoption Forensics & Joel Rifkin
I have permission from Juneau Press to distribute an excerpt from the
new book, "Adoption: Uncharted Waters," by psychologist David Kirschner, Ph.D., well-known for his work concerning Adopted Child Syndrome or ACS. The excerpt finds the author in prison with New York's most prolific serial killer, Joel Rifkin. Kirschner prepared a psychological profile of adoptee Rifkin for the defense and spent an unprecedented 110 hours interviewing and examining the man who murdered 17 women. Kirschner has been involved in over 20 homicide cases, most notably Joel Rifkin, "Casino Killer" Jeremy Strohmeyer, and serial wife-and- mother poisoner, Steve Catlin. He also provides an in-depth chapter on adoptee and multiple murderer David Berkowitz -- the infamous "Son of Sam." This book provides a rare, inside look how psychology and the law mesh in murder trials. Kirschner is a staunch advocate of opening birth records, which he sees as a human and civil right of adoptees. In his book, he shows how secrecy, lies, and sealed records can lead adoptees into a fantasy life that sometimes explodes in deadly rage. You can find the excerpt on Joel Rifkin at the following URL -- or email me and I will send it as a text file: http://www.authorviews.com/authors/k...er/excerpt.php |
