In the Mind of a Serial Killer

Patient Ralph Moore is hospitalized in a maximum security hospital after killing three prostitutes with their bras and receiving an Insanity Plea. Diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, Ralph is paranoid about staff, treatment and all authority figures who try to treat him over a 15 year period. The story is viewed from the patient’s perspective and chronicles his earlier life under the demeaning abuse of his alcoholic father to developing trust with some staff resulting in his eventual release into the community over the objections of Psychiatrists, Review Boards, the Court Personnel and the community.
