The author of the book is a forensic psychiatrist who has worked in the British penal system for many years. Ten stories from his practice are ten fates of people who found themselves in circumstances that led to crimes.
In telling the stories of his characters, the author raises questions much broader than his professional duties require. What drives a person to commit a crime? Can it be prevented? Can the psychology of a criminal be changed?
This thoughtful and engaging study allows the reader not only to enter hospital wards, maximum-security prisons, and courtrooms but also to deeply sympathize with the author's charges. Nathan suggests looking at people hidden behind labels such as "psychopath," "serial killer," "sexual offender" in a different way.
The psyche does not form on its own. Mental processes are influenced by individual, institutional, and social reactions. This determines how a person's aggressiveness will manifest. Regardless of the origins of a person's propensity for violence, their interactions with others are constantly changing. "We must show a sincere interest in people." According to the author, this is the responsibility of society and those around them.
For whom
The book is addressed to a wide range of readers interested in psychology issues, particularly in the formation of human consciousness. It will be especially useful for professionals - psychiatrists, forensic psychiatric experts. In addition, the book will interest those who enjoy reading about how the criminal justice system is organized in other countries, particularly in the United Kingdom.
