ABSTRACT

IN CHAPTER 4, WE OUTLINED THE LIMITATIONS AND CONSTRAINTS EN- demic to clinical case study as a method of inquiry in the sciences of behavior. While clinical case study is not a very satisfactory means of uncovering new knowledge, it remains unsurpassed as a means to illustrate how the engines of behavior actually operate in real- world terms and in real-world people. Thus, the quintessential way to illustrate the manner in which intra-person and extra-psychic variables intersect (or perhaps even, collide with) each other so as to eventuate in criminal violence is by means of detailed examination of a single case, the parameters of which have been reasonably well documented.
