In this book, Professor Ghahreman Khodadad illuminates the basis of human behavior by examining the structures that underline antisociality. The book's central thesis is that antisocial people are so thanks to biological and neurological structures. The principle of structure to function is used to argue that the brain, without us being conscious of it, produces our behaviors. If this claim is correct, then antisocial individuals are not accountable for their antisocial behavior, and they should be treated respectfully instead of being punished. Furthermore, prisons should accordingly be converted into rehabilitation, treatment, and behavioral research centers. This is a book for the general reader who is interested in the basis of human behavior. It should also be of interest to psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, geneticists, neurobiologists, and philosophers.

Ghahreman Khodadad, MD, is a distinguished emeritus of the University of Cincinnati, USA. He undertook the study of genetic, neurobiological, and physicochemical processes of excessive pathological selfishness (EPS) and aggressive behavior at Harvard Medical School (2012), similar studies at the University of Pennsylvania (2016), and the study of EPS at the Ghahreman Khodadad Center at Tufts University (2018), all in the USA.
