Acknowledgments No project can get off the ground without the help of a community of people. I have been fortunate to have an incredible community of mentors, colleagues, family, and friends who have made this book possible. First, thanks to my family. My daughter Zalia. She is the best thing that ever happened to me. She grew up hearing me talk about psychopaths, help- ing me select scenes from The Bad Seed for my classes, and I’ll never forget the look on her face when she first saw little Rhoda Penmark. She is now a col- lege student majoring in theoretical physics and applied mathematics. She is extraordinary, and I know she will change the world. Thanks to my mom, Dr. Esther Helfgott, the strongest woman I know, who taught me what it means to be a true scholar. Thanks to my incredible brothers, Ian and Scott Helfgott, to my late dad Oscar Feit and Grandma Anna Helfgott both of whom are still always with me, and to the rest of my family who pro- vide the love and stability and support necessary to make it through a project like this. Thanks to my friends—Laura, Macy, Jill, Sharon, Zach, and Brian, and others who have supported me in different areas of life, including my fellow Marathon Maniacs and Seattle Urban Sketchers who provided me an outlet besides studying and writing about psychopaths. And thanks to my daughter’s friends Lillian and Bridget who grew up driving around in the back of my car listening to my stories of all the bad things that have hap- pened on every corner, and I’m pretty sure are tired of hearing me talk about psychopaths. Thanks to my professional colleagues who have supported me—my doc- toral committee chair, Dr. Lynne Goodstein, and committee members profes- sors William Parsonage and Dan Katkin from the Penn State Administration of Justice Department, and Dr. Juris Draguns from the Penn State Psychology Department whose work has influenced my thinking about the influence of culture on manifestations of psychopathy and who took me under his wing to teach me the Rorschach.
