by Keith Ablow
The Scott Peterson murder case is the most gripping
and highly publicized crime story of the 21st Century. It has captivated a
public hungry for the answer to one question: Why would a man with no known
history of violent crime or mental illness, with a pretty wife about to give
birth to his son, brutally murder her? To get "inside Peterson's head,"
the national media turned to forensic psychiatrist Keith Ablow, M.D. His
appearances resulted in a deluge of e-mails with most stating that his
theories about the spawning of a killer inside Peterson were the first that
made sense to them. Members of Scott's and Laci's families have also stated
that his comments were the first that helped them understand what happened
inside Scott's mind....
"Psychiatrist Keith Russell Ablow has reintroduced the idea of
"character" into his practice. . . highly controversial . . ." -U.S. News &
World Report
