AS SEEN ON THIS MORNING 'a fascinating and moving account of life
working with people who too often society wants to forget' Dr
Amanda Brown, author of THE PRISON DOCTOR 'excellent and
enlightening' Jonathan Levi and Emma French, authors of INSIDE
BROADMOOR 'thought provoking' Gwen Adshead, author of THE DEVIL YOU
KNOW Shocking, eye-opening and grimly fascinating, these are the
true stories, patients and cases that have characterised a career
spent treating mentally disordered offenders. As a forensic
psychiatrist, it's Dr Das's job to treat and rehabilitate what the
tabloids might call the 'criminally insane', many of whom assault,
rob, rape, and even kill. His work takes him to high-security
prisons and securely locked hospital wards across the country, as
well as inside courtrooms, giving evidence as an expert witness.
From the young woman who smothered her two-year-old nephew in a
flash of psychosis, to the teenager who set his house on fire with
his mother locked inside, Dr Das must delve into the minds of these
violent offenders to elicit their symptoms of mental illness,
understand their actions and prevent future atrocities. In this
honest, revealing and at times humorous memoir, Dr Das shares
stories from his fifteen years as a psychiatric doctor working with
this dangerous clientele, detailing some of his most extreme,
heart-breaking and bizarre cases - and how he's learned to live
with his mistakes when the worse happens. Compelling, enlightening
and candid, if you enjoyed Unnatural Causes, Dark Side of the Mind
or The Prison Doctor, you'll love IN TWO MINDS.
