Biography of Joan Swart, currently Forensic Psychologist at Private Practice, previously Consultant at The Apsche Center and Consultant at The Apsche Center.
Mindfulness is the elementary human aptitude to feel own presence, i.e., being conscious of the point of the existence of self and the corresponding boundary of performance, posing complete rejection to the undue recognition or excessive activities, revolving around alarmingly. Awakening to the 3-pronged internal functional structure of the physical, mental and spiritual processes, lying dormant in an individual is the prime objective of mindfulness. Mindfulness is naturally present in a person's mind and soul, but it warrants a steadfast practice and exertion that should be included in daily chores. Then only, this abstract element can be viewed as a tangible object and mindfulness will complete its full circle. Sometimes, knowledge is taken as lessons of what a person observes straight through senses or thoughts and perceptions. This indicates that a particular person is mindful. Experiments are always on the path of an impulsive run in displaying that an individual is reshaping the brain’s physical framework when the brain is educated to be mindful.

A psychological examination of the blurred line between victim and accomplice—and how a killer can be created Elmer Wayne Henley, Jr. was only fourteen when he first became entangled with serial rapist and murderer Dean Corll in 1971. Fellow Houston, Texas, teenager David Brooks had already been ensnared by the charming older man, bribed with cash to help lure boys to Corll’s home. When Henley unwittingly entered the trap, Corll evidently sensed he’d be of more use as a second accomplice than another victim. He baited Henley with the same deal he’d given Brooks: $200 for each boy they could bring him. Henley didn’t understand the full extent of what he had signed up for at first. B...

From the author of Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters comes an in-depth examination of sexual serial killers throughout human history, how they evolved, and why we are drawn to their horrifying crimes. Before the term was coined in 1981, there were no "serial killers." There were only "monsters"--killers society first understood as werewolves, vampires, ghouls and witches or, later, Hitchcockian psychos. In Sons of Cain--a book that fills the gap between dry academic studies and sensationalized true crime--investigative historian Peter Vronsky examines our understanding of serial killing from its prehistoric anthropological evolutionary dimensions in the pre-civilization era ...
