pickAmazing. I highly recommend for fans of true crime & mental health. Dr Adshead is a forensic psychiatrist &works w/criminals. She introduces the idea of compassion & humanity, delving into the psychology & humanizing these patients that we often label as unredeemable.
It‘s a difficult read at times. I can‘t say I felt empathy or even sympathy for all of them; however, I learned a lot & gained a better understanding of those who commit crimes.
Kristy_K I have an older version of the book as the newer ones have a new subtitle, Stories of Human Cruelty and Compassion, which I felt suited it better. 2w
