The Devil You Know: Encounters in Forensic Psychiatry

by Eileen Horne & Gwen Adshead

The Devil You Know is a series of 12 encounters with a range of offenders: serial killers, arsonists, stalkers, and other people who are usually seen as ‘monsters’.

The book, according to the author

It’s been my privilege to be able to share what I’ve learned about evil and violence over the course of a working lifetime. It is an invitation to come and look at that capacity for doing great cruelty and great harm that lies in all of us. The Devil You Know is a series of 12 encounters with a range of offenders: serial killers, arsonist, stalkers, and other people who are usually seen as ‘monsters’. We’ve had some nice feedback and it’s now out in paperback so I hope more folk can access it.
