Welcome to the Personal Website of Author William HarmeningAdjunct Professor of Forensic Psychology, Chicago School of Professional Psychology
Adjunct Professor of Criminal Justice, Roosevelt University, Chicago PhD International Psychology (Student), Chicago School of Professional Psychology Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my Author's Guild website. On this site you will find a number of my books. If you care to purchase one, each includes a link to Barnes & Noble and other outlets. The subject matter ranges from psychology to theology. If you are one of my students in search of resources, you will find them under the "Students" link. In terms of my teaching and academic writing, I tend to specialize in the area of criminal behavior. I just completed a textbook titled "The Criminal Triad: Psychosocial Development of the Criminal Personality Type." If criminal behavior and forensic psychology are subjects of interest, or if you too are writing or researching a similar text, I would love to hear from you!

The Criminal Triad: Psychosocial Development of the Criminal Personality Type
By William Harmening Charles C. Thomas Publishers What is it that compels a person to choose a life of crime and deviancy over one of responsibility and social conformity? To understand exactly how and why that choice is ultimately made, we must turn to the discipline of psychology. In his first textbook on the subject of criminal behavior, Professor William Harmening presents and then deconstructs his own unique formulation of the internal deterrence system, and looks specifically at the psychosocial development of each of the proposed component parts...attachment, morality, and identity. He then weaves together an example of the developing child and the role played by parents, peers, and internal psychological processes in the development of a moral and socially-responsible adolescent who is able to effectively self-deter from crime and deviancy, or, in the event of a problematic course of development, its unfortunate antithesis, a young person who chooses criminality over social conformity. ______________________________________________________________________________
