I have had a little bit of experience dealing with a person with a slight amount of psychosis. This book very much reminded me of her, just by her reactions to certain events. Such as, doing things only when she is alone with the "victim." Whenever someone else would be around, she would be fine, a ‘perfect human’. It is very scary to know that people in the world are actually this mentally unbalanced. A Child Called IT deals very much with the field of psychology, and it is shockingly accurate.
