A fascinating, erudite, and beautifully written deep dive into the nature of evil. The Devil You Know makes the case for radical empathy and reminds us that all human beings are capable of darkness, and of light." Tiesa, buvo kelios istorijos, kur padėjo jaunai mamai, greit neteksiančiai trečio vaiko globos teisių ir moters, linkusios padeginėti. Over a working life of more than 30 years, Adshead has served patients at Broadmoor, a place with 'a history of housing some of the UK’s most notorious violent criminals.' Adshead’s interest is not lurid, though there are lurid episodes, and her overarching goal is to secure more funding for better treatment. A welcome contribution to the literature of crime and rehabilitation." — Kirkus A perspective-shattering work into the minds of violent criminals that reveals profound consequences for human nature and society at large. The story about Sam is interesting to know how many of his difficulties relate to moments of clarity and understanding and then despair as a person with schizophrenia. On occasions having a psychotic break where he trashed and destroyed his sister's bedroom looking for something that he assumes stolen and then being mortified of what he has done - and yet not aware of his actions at the time, only afterwards.This book presents eleven case histories* of psychologically disturbed violent offenders. Of course these are not real cases, because there is such a thing as patient confidentiality. So what are they? The patients Adshead are some unbelievably evil people, and some of what I learned of these people was hard to read. It's difficult to take into account that if a person is concluded to be mentally ill at the time of a horrific murder, somehow there is more sympathy for that person in a way. It shouldn't actually matter, the person killed another human being, and their families have to live with that forever. One of the things that is interesting about psychotherapy is it's always looking at the reason for the cause has been something to do with the past and particularly childhood and children trauma and whilst I believe that much of this may well be the case I also work with a lot of young people who do erratic and irrational things, not because something terrible happened to them when young but because of how brain structure occurred, for example those with autism which isn't due to a cause in your past but some part of your brain chemistry doesn't quite work like others or processes the world in a very different way. It's really important when looking at causes and I do believe that early childhood trauma can impact on people but isn’t the only route to why people might develop into different selves. Most people who suffer mental health are often harmless to society and are at greater risk of harm from others than the rest of society. The author is so compassionate and full of wisdom in how she helps these people.

I heard forensic psychiatrist Dr Gwen Adshead speak at the Edinburgh Book Festival in August and was prompted to buy this, her latest release, co-written by American author Eileen Horne. Nusikaltėliai – smurtautojai, žudikai, persekiotojai, padegėjai – ir jų istorijos, leidžiančios kitu kampu pažiūrėti į žmonių psichiką. Esminė žinutė, kurią perteikia visi šie pasakojimai: tarp patirties, elgesio ir pasekmių yra priežastinis ryšys. There is a fascinating story about Lydia who is a stalker who eventually managed to persuade everybody that she is quite reasonable and rational but then in one of the discussions with the psychiatrist, it turns out that she is so far from reality and still so intent on causing harm to the person she was stalking, that I thought about it for days.It's interesting to note that there is not much in the way of long-term care in a hostel for people with mental health problems nowadays, in fact the average length of stay in a secure unit is three weeks. This book is both a gift and an invitation to transform the judging mind; may it touch many." —Father Richard Rohr OFM , Author, educator, and Founder of the Centre for Action and Contemplation

The Devil You Know Encounters in Forensic Psychiatry

On killing and other crimes—a forensic, gripping, extraordinary and ultimately enlightening insider’s account of how and why it happens."— Philippe Sands, author of The Ratline: The Exalted Life and Mysterious Death of a Nazi Fugitive Charlotte; çocukluk döneminde yaşanan travmaların ve karşılanmayan aidiyet ihtiyacının, bir grup iradesine boyun eğmede ve şiddete yönelmede etkisini inceliyor. The author relates many of the stories as survivors of disaster movies where the perpetrators are the disaster. It's an interesting analogy to describe how these people have become damaged, many of them through the early trauma to become the person that they eventually became and the authors attempt to reconcile and understand with compassion and care.

I understand that there are plenty of mental illnesses that can cause a person to lose their minds so to speak, but what comfort does that give to the victims family? In another case where a young girl is thought to be causing harm to her baby, that's an interesting observation that many of these people will often say ‘I just thought something was wrong’ and will then go to lengths for others to find that something is wrong when often nothing is wrong. That feeling then overwhelms and takes over them and all their rationality (Munchhausen syndrome by proxy). Note: Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP) is a mental health problem in which a caregiver makes up or causes an illness or injury in a person under his or her care, such as a child, an elderly adult, or a person who has a disability.
