This is the third book in Dr. Brady’s ‘Bad Actor’s’ series. People are mesmerized with” the rich and famous” especially when they take a fall or two. Winona Ryder, as a case in point, stole lots of stuff, but did she receive the necessary diagnosis and treatment she needed? Dr. Brady has analyzed many celebrity theft cases and concludes that, “most of these people never got the necessary help they needed, thus the bad news—they may re-offend.” Often the treatment of a behavioral, addictive disorder like stealing proves ineffective. He presents the cases of six psychologically troubled theft-addicts who he personally treated using a variety of therapies.
