Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony: A Psychological Portrait

"I'm writing this as a forensic psychiatrist and journalist. My goal is for people to understand as much as possible about how this little girl disappeared from the face of the earth by using psychological reasoning as a lens to explore the death of Caylee Anthony." --Keith Ablow in Hollywood Reporter Feature on INSIDE THE MIND OF CASEY ANTHONY

"America's leading forensic psychiatrist" (Star magazine) opens a window on Casey Anthony's psyche and the dynamics within her family that explores the question: "Why is Caylee Anthony dead?"

The trial of twenty-five-year-old Casey Anthony for the death of her daughter, Caylee, was the most sensational case in America since O. J. Simpson's--with a verdict every bit as stunning. After being acquitted in July 2011, Ms. Anthony instantly became one of the most infamous women in the world. Dr. Keith Ablow distills tens of thousands of pages of documents he has obtained; his behind-the-camera, one-on-one interviews; and his decades of experience in the world of forensic psychiatry to make sense of a woman whose defense attorney described her as an innocent victim of childhood sexual abuse, but the state insisted was a cold-blooded murderer. Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony delivers an incisive, riveting study of this troubled young woman.

"Keith Ablow's work stands alone."
