О профайлинге широкая аудитория узнала относительно недавно, и с легкой руки писателей и кинематографистов сегодня с ним связано множество мифов, домыслов и небылиц. Книга профессионального профайлера Анны Кулик позволяет заглянуть в этот будоражащий нервы и воображение мир. Она рассказывает об истории профайлинга и о том, как его методики применяются в современных условиях, в том числе в сфере бизнеса, позволяет узнать, чем отличаются психопаты от социопатов и какие факторы влияют на формирование серийного убийцы. Помимо этого, Анна раскрывает детали работы профайлера, иллюстрируя повествование примерами и интересными историями из собственной практики. Перед вами не просто портретная галерея самых страшных маньяков и психопатов и не сухое криминологическое исследование, но интересный психологический и документальный очерк. Вместе с тем автор, глубоко погружаясь в биографии известных преступников: «Битцевского маньяка» Пичушкина, «Ангарского маньяка» Попкова, Чикатило, Михасевича, Спесивцева, Ткача, Головкина, Мохова, Исхакова, Кабанова, Соколова и других, – нисколько не оправдывает их. Напротив, в книге они предстают не героями и не загадочными злодеями с глубокой философией и великими идеями. Мы увидим их такими, какие они есть на самом деле – слабыми, нарциссичными, не способными на сострадание.
