Recenzii
The yawning space between delusional and normal cognitions is artfully and scientifically described by this most important work on extreme overvalued beliefs. We are awash in such simplistic, binary and absolute ways of thinking. Dr. Rahman not only elucidates this heretofore psychiatric no man's land, but makes a critical contribution to our social and political discourse.
This book provides the best analysis of the role that extreme overvalued beliefs play in assassinations, school shootings, and mass murders. It offers clear guidance in distinguishing such beliefs from delusions and in recognizing clues to help prevent such tragedies.
Tahir Rahman's provocative book delivers an innovative metric to understand very violent behavior and possibly even identify those about to carry it out. His case study of Lee Harvey Oswald is a compelling and fresh analysis of why Oswald killed JFK. No reader will finish Rahman's book without appreciating the importance of his convincing thesis about extreme overvalued beliefs.
At a time when unconventional beliefs have gained abundant acceptance among members of society, Dr. Rahman sheds light on the liminal space between normal and delusional thoughts. Delineation of Extreme Overvalued Beliefs is especially significant relative to the coercive powers of psychiatry--highlighted in issues such as competence, culpability, civil commitment, and the forcible administration of psychiatric medications.
Extreme Overvalued Ideas is a fascinating book on a vitally important topic. Enriched by copious case studies, it will challenge forensic practitioners' traditional diagnostic and explanatory frameworks. It's also a very good read.
Dr. Rahman's seminal work provides key differences between delusions and extreme overvalued beliefs. He provides insight into how these thoughts develop over time, fueled by influencers and our digital subculture. This book is essential guidance for the legal system, which often encounters odd or unusual patterns of thinking and behavior.
Psychiatry has been critiqued for its ever-shifting contours of mental disease concepts. Yet Dr. Rahman distinguishes the contours of a timely and critical concept associated with violence and extreme behavior in society. He does so in a manner that gives rise to improved accuracy and clarity of forensic psychiatric assessment. With his analysis of extreme overvalued beliefs, Dr. Rahman has made a substantial contribution to the field and secures his position as a preeminent clinical scientist.
This thoughtful review of the many ways society understands the psychological influences on behavior unites history, medicine, literature, and philosophy in a unique treatment of pre-occupation and pathology. The challenges of distinguishing controversial beliefs from illness are evident in a book that carefully addresses both the nuances of defining clinical conditions and the subtleties of assigning blame.
This book is a fascinating dive into the vastly underappreciated expanse of extreme overvalued beliefs, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. As a boots-on the-ground threat assessment professional and as a contributor to the behavioral science of violence prevention, I consider this must-read. Whether you're new to the field or an expert, there's something for everyone in this very accessible read.

Tahir Rahman, MD, is Associate Professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Dr. Rahman completed his psychiatry residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. He has 25 years of clinical and forensic experience, and has testified as an expert witness in several high-profile insanity cases. He teaches forensics and led the first description of extreme overvalued beliefs in response to an analysis of the insanity trial of Anders Breivik, a terrorist responsible for the massacre of 77 people in Norway. The central focus of his research is on pathological fixations--with an emphasis on concise definitions of delusions, obsessions, and extreme overvalued beliefs. Since then, his research has focused on threat assessment and management. One overarching goal is to end targeted attacks, especially school shootings, by the end of this decade. In his distinguished career, he has won several teaching awards, and he published numerous peer-reviewed articles in both psychiatric andthreat assessment journals. He is a member of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals, and the American Psychiatric Association, as well as a consultant for the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, Quantico.Jeffrey Abugel has been an editor and writer for more than 30 years.
