With devastating clarity, Gilligan traces the role that shame plays in the etiology of murder and explains why our present penal system only exacerbates it. Brilliantly argued, harrowing in its portraits of the walking dead, Violence should be read by anyone concerned with this national epidemic and its widespread consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\"Extraordinary. Gilligan's recommendations concerning what does work to prevent violence...are extremely convincing...A wise and careful, enormously instructive book.\"--Owen Renik, M.D., editor, Psychoanalytic Quarterly\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic | James Gilligan | Paperback | 9780679779124 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1769623","offer_id":49518321238168,"sku":"1769623","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61ePU6bwSvL.jpg?v=1784620308","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/violence-reflections-on-a-national-epidemic","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
