Born into the ranks of the Cosa Nostra, the son of a godfather convincted by Judge Falcone, Nino Rizzo chose exile and became a psychologist. In this rare account, he retraces his journey and by the light of Freud plumbs the psychology of gangsters able to kill in cold blood before going back to being doting dads. A unique and valuable deep dive into the mental mechanisms of a world where violence, loyalty, and fragile narcissism reign.
