Nicholas Ray's 1955 film starring James Dean, Rebel Without a Cause, took its name from this book. Through methods of psychoanalysis and hypnosis, the author uncovers the crucial episodes and the basic characterologic factors in the life of a youthful criminal, and reconstructs the mental history of a baffling abnormal personality from earliest infancy, through a perverted, lawbreaking boyhood, to the young manhood phase in a penitentiary environment.
