Savage Spawn
“The Book of Deuteronomy describes a “stubborn and rebellious son” whose incorrigible behavior merits death by stoning (28). Talmudic commentary clarifies that an actual case of incorrigibility meriting execution was improbable and, in fact, may have never occurred (29). Rather, the intention was to present a teaching case—a metaphorical warning of the danger that results when incorrigibility reaches dangerous proportions in a young person.
What is fascinating is how closely the elements that ma...ke up the stubborn and rebellious son match our contemporary understanding of psychopathy: extreme lust and gluttony (impulsive factors) and crime (interpersonal factors). Talmudic sages living two thousand years ago realized what some modern scholars have come to learn rather painfully: If extremes of bad behavior are not quelled very early in childhood, they are extremely difficult to reverse.
There are no actual data regarding rates of rehabilitation as they relate to age, but clinical experience has taught us that the older the child, the less pliable his behavior.MoreLess
