'Exceptional . . . This thoughtful and engrossing book is as much
about law as it is about minds' THE TIMES What drives someone to
commit murder? What makes some people lash out on those that they
love? Can we predict whether a child will grow into a violent
adult, and what can we do to prevent it? These are just some of the
questions that forensic psychiatrist Dr Taj Nathan interrogates
every day in his work with violent offenders. Stories about violent
or deviant behaviour are the subject of sensational headlines or
inflated dramatic portrayals, but infinitely more complex and
intriguing are the real people behind labels like 'psychopath',
'sex offender' or 'serial killer'. Taking us from secure hospital
wards to high-security prisons to courtrooms, Dangerous Minds
offers compelling and deeply compassionate accounts of ten people
whose lives have been shaped by violence. From the impact of
traumatic events in childhood to the evolutionary and cultural
influences on the emergence of the social mind, this book is an
insider's account of the origins of violence that asks its readers
to re-evaluate all that they think they know about the people
society deems most dangerous.
