Mind Games

I was recently reading about Colin Bouwer, the infamous psychiatrist in New Zealand who was convicted of slowly poisoning his wife to death with insulin. In addition to murder, Dr. Bouwer had a few other psychopathic credits in his pathological portfolio; he was a pathological liar, prescription drug abuser, and a skilled manipulator. He was accused of having sex with at least two of his patients, who alleged that, during the course of therapy, he had told them that he had not had marital relations with his wife for months because she was dying of cancer.
