The tremendous impact of a parent’s attitudes and behavior upon a growing child has been emphasized repeatedly by psychologists. Indeed, a parent’s influence often carries over into a child’s later years, leaving an indelible mark upon his personality. This influence can be for the good, as when a child grows into a mature and happy […]

Immoral men capitalizing on the innocence of others to attain their goals — a story as old as man. The Bible, history books, law books — all contain examples. And when the innocent victim is young, the story is so much the sadder. The girl in this book is the victim of her unscrupulous boyfriend […]

A mother’s desire for her son is a subject as old as the world of literature, and its theme, incest, can be traced back to Sodom and Gomorrah, and Lot’s scheme to repopulate a supposedly desolate earth by sleeping with his daughters. The subject has been probed by Sophocles, and Freud defined the problem of […]

The teenage girl searching for a „real man” to initiate her into the mysteries of sex — a theme as old as man. And in today’s „liberated” society, it could safely be assumed that an even larger percentage of young girls look toward older men to help get them over that first big step and […]

The facade of respectability often crumbles to dust with remarkable swiftness once its protective armor has been pierced. The relatively minor investigation into the conduct of one police officer results in the discovery of massive corruption within the force. A routine check by the government of a corporation’s finances turns up damning evidence of widespread […]

The subject of victim psychology has become an area of great interest in recent years, due mostly, perhaps to the widely publicized „conversion” of Patricia Hearst to the radical SLA. Why a victim will turn and become a party to his or her own abduction is a question open to hot debate. The women in […]

Life is filled with periods of transition, and it all starts at birth, when a baby is yanked from the warmth and safety of the womb.

Immoral people capitalizing on the innocence of others to attain their goals — a story as old as man. The Bible, history books, law books — all contain examples.
