Whoever Fights Monsters: My Twenty Years Tracking Serial Killers for the FBI Amazon calculates a product’s star ratings based on a machine learned model instead of a raw data average. And though some of the phrasing and the occasional idea have definitely dated, there's also a surprising effort here to discount some old prejudices.I found this to be informative and in some regards, fascinating.

A few of the stories are the same, some almost word-for-word. For all their morbid and brutal history, why do people flock to read true crime books, fictional accounts and movies about these characters ?

Power dynamics, life strategies, and owning your life.For this “Whoever Fights Monsters” summary, I will skip the gory bits of Ressler’s crimes descriptions and focus on the information which is more relevant from a psychological and psychiatrical point of view.Sexual homicides are sexual in nature, but it’s important to notice that sexual homicide doesn’t necessarily mean that the murderer has had sexual intercourse with the victim (some of the murderers weren’t even able to have sex with the women they killed)The author says that serial murderers are characterized as sexual homicides because sexual maladjustment is at the roots of all of them.The most common profile for sexual homicides is: white, male, intra-racial (white on white or black on black), in their 20s or 30s.Ressler says that sexual murderers have troubled relationships with women.Nearly half of their interviewees reported of never having had a consensual sexual relationship.Serial killers, the author says, are obsessed with fantasies.They have non-fulfilled experiences that become part of the fantasy and push them on towards the next killing.The author says that the homicides do not start earlier because it takes some time to develop the full-blown psychosis which eventually tips the scale into the killers’ minds.Paranoia-schizophrenia usually manifests in the teenage years, and then it takes 8 to 10 years to reach that level of psychosis.The author says that telltale signs like setting fire, animal cruelty and assaulting teachers start in adolescence but the mindset starts earlier.The author says that behaviors that are precursors to sexual homicides have been developing since childhood.Most sexual murders come from troubled families, with poor relationships with their mothers and were devoid of love and affection. Whoever Fights Monsters: A Review of Mindhunter. The author should have used better categories in my opinion.First, he says they all had trouble childhood, then he says “not all rapists and murderers” suffered early traumas, then again he says it’s all about the fantasies.They’re all true, of course, and they often overlap.I wish the author had gone deeper on an important question: overlap between psychopathy and sexual maladjustments.What I found lacking in “Whoever Fights Monsters” is the analysis of this overlap.Finally, Robert Ressler writes “Whoever Fights Monster” with quite a bragging style.“Whoever Fights Monsters” sits in between an informational text a psychiatrist could read and a lighter text that laymen simply interested in criminology could enjoy reading.If you want to learn more about the psychology of criminals I also recommend “In any case, “Whoever Fights Monsters” is a must-read for anyone interested in psychiatry, abnormal psychology and criminology.Sexual Maladjustment At The Root of All Serial MurderersSexual maladjustment is at the heart of all fantasies, and the fantasies emotionally drive the murderersIt Takes Time to Develop Psychosis Which Lead to Serial MurderingThe author used a very bad approach there from a persuasion point of view.

The story is told by one of its main participants, Robert Ressler, who largely developed the art of serial killer profiling.

Manson said that his biggest mistake was to “let that SOB Wattson have too much power in the family”, and Wattson murdered also to elevate himself in the family’s power structure.I also found telling the story of a murderer whom, in prison, was taking care of a sparrow.But when the guards told him the sparrow had to go, he threw it in the blades of a fan.He still loved the sparrow, but he said: “if I can’t have it, nobody else can”.Robert Ressler tells the story of an interview he was having with a huge dangerous serial killer. “Whoever Fights Monsters” differentiates between organized and disorganized offenders.Disorganized offenders are usually devoid of normal logic and tend to be less calculative and less calm when they’re in danger of getting caught.Organized murderers plan their crimes and even get better with time. 0312950446

First published in 1993, by someone whose career was primarily in the 70s and 80s, there are some things you just don't expect to be handled as well as they were.

"What is one allowed to do? Why is society so fascinated with them ? His career is fascinating, but I found his autobiography to be lackluster. The behaviors that are precursors to murder have been present and developing in that person's life for a long, long time- since childhood.”“Manson is a great talker and his favorite subject is himself.”

When they talk about dismembering victims, don’t go overboard to make a big show of how many times you’ve seen that. Tom Shachtman is the co-author with Robert Ressler of Whoever Fights Monsters and Justice is Served.
