Love That Kills. Stories of Women Who Crossed the Line

In the minds of many, the image of a woman is associated with love, care, and maternal warmth; she is the one who gives life, nurtures, and provides protection. That is why stories of women committing crimes and exhibiting monstrous cruelty evoke such conflicting emotions. In this book, Anna Motz, a clinical psychologist and forensic psychotherapist, tells the stories of 11 women she encountered in specialized institutions – in prisons, courts, and psychiatric hospitals, about their fates, traumatic experiences, and paths to recovery.
