Stewart has produced a clear-sighted book that will enable his colleagues better to identify the emotions that are shaping their clinical responsibilities. Dire Emotions and Lethal Behaviors explores the primary motivational system in human beings. Based on the work of C. G. Jung, James Hillman, Louis Stewart and Silvan Tomkins, Charles Stewart investigates the psychology of the innate affects, with a focus towards the emotional motivation of adolescents and young adults who have killed others, themselves, or both.
