Synopsis

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 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 way of understanding this troubled young woman.

Most of this book happened in Ablow's mind not in reality.......more

Goodreads review by Terri on December 22, 2015

Dr. Ablow tells a very fascinating portrayal of Casey Anthony's psychological makeup, trying to explain why she acted the way she did and told all the lies she did. The thing is, he never once spoke to her. He uses documents and interviews to base his analysis. I think a lot of it is probably accura......more

Goodreads review by Amy on January 26, 2012

Oh boy! This book .... Oh I don't even know what to say. I gave it 2 stars because it was mildly interesting, but really, if I had it to do again, I would skip it! To start, the book seems very "thrown together". There is no real time line, it jumps back and forth. Things of little consequence are r......more

Goodreads review by MaryAlice on July 26, 2012

After finishing "Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony: A Psychological Portrait" by Keith Ablow, I did not feel I had gotten inside Casey's mind. Some of the book is interesting, especially the psychological parts, yet it was all conjecture based on author's interviews with "sources in several states",......more

Goodreads review by Susanna on January 21, 2012

From the forensic psychiatrist standpoint, Ablow wrote his view and discussed his analysis of Casey Anthony’s psyche.
