The Devil You Know  -  Gwen Adshead (Dr) and Eileen Horne

Stories of Human Cruelty and Compassion

KORTE INHOUD

Dr Gwen Adshead has spent thirty years providing therapy inside secure hospitals and prisons. Whatever her patient's crime - serial homicide, stalking or arson - she helps them to better know their minds by enabling them to articulate their life experiences. Through her collaboration with co-author Eileen Horne, Adshead brings her work to life in these fascinating, unflinching portraits of individuals who newspaper headlines, TV dramas and crime fiction label 'monsters'. Case by case, Adshead takes us into the treatment room and reveals these men and women in all their complexity and vulnerability.

These are stories of cruelty and despair but also of change and recovery...
