First of all, I gotta mention that this is a textbook, so it’s scientific information, behavioral analysis, psychological background, legal boundaries. Loads of very interesting and educational stuff! As long as this specific topic is something you’re interested in, you’re gonna love this book!

Nevertheless, the author has done a notable job providing relevant information and references. Overall, it's a well-researched book with several included case reports.
