Lovers Killers Mmp-1

Martin Blinder. St. Martin's Press, $4.5 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-312-90219-3

A forensic psychiatrist for 20 years, Blinder discusses 10 murderers, including Dan White, who gunned down San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk (and recently committed suicide). Blinder notes that some are dissociative killers and others are powerless, psychotic, masochistically dependent or combinations thereof. Blinder ""presents a forceful argument in favor of the legal defense of insanity and/or diminished capacity,'' Blinder wrote. January
