The worldview of violent sex offenders is so alien to many of us that to consider them in detail, up close and personal, can feel much like going down the rabbit hole. This work is a personal/professional memoir written by a clinical psychologist who followed this rabbit hole deeply. Working with sex offenders, psychopaths, sadists, and other offenders for forty years, Anna C. Salter learned lessons about malice, where it comes from, and what it's really like to come face-to-face with what much of society considers to be true evil. This book is a highly personal, nonfiction account exploring the nature of malice and includes the impact of working with malice on those exposed to it. Throughout her career, Dr. Sadler never lost her sense of incredulity at the sometimes harrowing worldviews she encountered, but nor will she ever forget what she learned there, or what it was like to finally leave it behind.
