Description
Dr Gwen Adshead's book, The Devil You Know, presents a unique perspective on the individuals behind violent crimes, revealing their stories and experiences in a therapeutic setting.
Through her work as a forensic psychiatrist, Adshead has spent thirty years helping patients in secure hospitals and prisons to better understand their minds and articulate their life experiences. In this book, she collaborates with Eileen Horne to bring her work to life, shedding new light on the therapeutic process and the complexities of the human mind.
These portraits of individuals who have been labelled as 'monsters' by the media challenge our understanding of evil and highlight the need for compassion over condemnation. The Devil You Know is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, one that can change the way we think about violence and mental health.
