Jonathan Kellerman

Ballantine Books, 2008

A nice addition to the Alex Delaware series
Compulsion is author Jonathan Kellerman's 22nd offering in his series about Alex Delaware, a child psychologist who assists police detective Milo Sturgis in solving murder cases. Being a psychologist myself, I've read and generally enjoyed all of the books in the Dr. Delaware series, although I felt that somewhere around the 15-20th books or so, Kellerman began to lose some steam. However, with ...

The Gift of Our Compulsions: A Revolutionary Approach to Self-Acceptance and Healing

New World Library, 2004

The best I've found
This is the best book on the topic of compulsions that I have ever seen. What impressed me the most were some simple and quick to do exercises that, simply put, have worked every time I've taken the 30 seconds or so to do them. Frankly I'm amazed at the power of this book. I met the author briefly after a lecture she gave, and I give her an even higher recommendation than the book. She's ...

Suzanne Zuercher

Ave Maria Press, 1992

Penetrating insight from a wise nun.
I highly reccomend this book for not only learning about the enneagram but for learning about basic spirituality. Non-Christains can benefit too - it is a pluralistic book. It gives great wisdom about this powerful tool for psychological and spiritual understanding. She is a level-headed teacher.

Keith Ablow

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2003

Great read!
I enjoyed this entry in the Frank Clevenger series immensely! I especially appreciated the quick pacing and smart plot. Mr. Ablow does a fine job of keeping you guessing, creating compelling characters, examining their motives without dragging it out, ( I hate being forced to skim), and he throws in some really interesting and ingenious diagnostic scenerios. It is the proverbial page-turner, and ...

Meyer Levin

Carroll & Graf Publishers, 1996

A fascinating and beautifully written novel
It seems that half of the reviewers here seem either set on critiquing this novel against the actual Leopold/Loeb history, or at least on demonstrating their own knowledge of the case. I'm also a huge follower of the history--but Compulsion is ultimately a work of fiction, a novel. And it happens to be a wonderfully structured, beautifully styled, moving, and psychologically staggering novel. ...

Women, Compulsion, Modernity: The Moment of American Naturalism (Women in Culture and Society Series)
Jennifer L. Fleissner

University Of Chicago Press, 2004

The 1890s have long been thought one of the most male-oriented eras in American history. But in reading such writers as Frank Norris with Mary Wilkins Freeman and Charlotte Perkins Gilman with Stephen Crane, Jennifer L. Fleissner boldly argues that feminist claims in fact shaped the period's cultural mainstream. Women, Compulsion, Modernity reopens a moment when the young American woman embodied both the promise and threat of a modernizing ...

A Compulsion for Antiquity: Freud And the Ancient World (Cornell Studies in the History of Psychiatry)
Richard H. Armstrong

Cornell University Press, 2006

"If psychoanalysis is the return of repressed antiquity, distorted to be sure by modern desire, yet still bearing the telltale traces of the ancient archive, then would not our growing distance from the archive of antiquity also imply that we are in the process of losing our grip on psychoanalysis itself, as Freud conceived it?"—from Chapter 1 As he developed his striking new science of the mind, Sigmund Freud had frequent recourse to ...
