The Devil You Know
Encounters in Forensic Psychiatry
Book •
In this book, Dr. Gwen Adshead, an internationally renowned forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist, draws from her thirty years of experience in providing therapy to people in prisons and secure hospitals who have committed serious offenses.
Through a collaboration with coauthor Eileen Horne, Dr. Adshead brings her extraordinary career to life in a series of unflinching portraits.
The book reveals the complexity and shared humanity of perpetrators, showing how minds can change when individuals take responsibility for their life stories and get to know their own minds.
It offers a persuasive argument for compassion over condemnation in an era of mass incarceration, deep cuts in mental health care, and extreme social schisms.
