Mitchell is an American investigative reporter formerly with The Clarion-Ledger, a newspaper in Jackson, Mississippi. He convinced authorities to reopen cold murder cases from the civil rights era, prompting one colleague to call him "the South's Simon Wiesenthal". In 2009, he received a "genius grant" from the MacArthur Foundation. Mitchell was a court reporter for the Clarion-Ledger in 1989 when the film Mississippi Burning inspired him to look into old civil rights cases that many thought had long since turned cold. His investigations have led to the arrest of several Klansmen and prompted authorities to reexamine numerous killings during the civil rights era. In 1996, he was portrayed by Jerry Levine in the Rob Reiner film, Ghosts of Mississippi, about the murder of Medgar Evers and the belated effort to bring killer Byron De La Beckwith to justice. He was featured in The Learning Channel documentary Civil Rights Martyrs that aired in February 2000 and was a consultant for the Discovery Channel documentary Killed by the Klan which aired in 1999. Mitchell received his undergraduate degree in communications from Harding University and his master's in journalism from Ohio State University in 1997. Mitchell's work inspired others. Since 1989, authorities in Mississippi and six other states have reexamined 29 killings from the civil rights era and made 27 arrests, leading to 22 convictions. More

Carl Goldberg, Ph.D. is the author of twelve books and 170 shorter publications, the editor-for-the-Americas of the International Journal of Psychotherapy, and is on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Psychotherapy and the Journal of Adult Development. Based on 40 years of clinical experience as a humanistic psychoanalyst, the author uses case studies of dangerous people from all walks of life to demonstrate that even those who have led destructive lives can be restored to more hopeful, compassionate, and responsible lives. The book provides insights about the most troubling aspects of human nature and addresses social and psychological challenges to psychoanalysis in the next century. The case studies involve a prostitute, an adolescent murderer, a client whose rage translated into violent action, a client who assumed another identity, a client who arranged to have her husband murdered, a suspected rapist, and other violent persons. The author considers psychoanalysis and moral responsibility; the psychology of self-deception, consciousness, and memory; psychological defenses as emotional strategies; and the role of shame in constructive behavior.
