The Demon You Know

How much truth is there in modern detective novels and series about forensic psychiatrists? Why do people kill — no, not in domestic quarrels and not for obvious reasons? Why do law-abiding people become serial killers, taking the lives of... others with cold-blooded cruelty? And can they be cured — even if slowly and with difficulty, through years and decades of hard work — and released into society? Or should such criminals be isolated from society forever? The renowned British psychiatrist Gwen Adshead worked for thirty years with mentally ill offenders — working with professional objectivity, without judging or condemning, but listening and sorting their confessions. And this book is the result of her interactions with those whom we justifiably consider “devils incarnate.”
