Dr Gwen Adshead
Changes with Annie Macmanus 
About this episode
<p>Why do people commit violent crimes? Do we all have the capacity to be evil? And is it possible to change the mind of a murderer? </p><br><p>This week on Changes, we speak to one of Britain’s leading forensic psychiatrists Dr Gwen Adshead, co-author of the Sunday Times Bestseller <em>The Devil You Know: Encounters in Forensic Psychiatry. </em>Dr Adshead has spent over thirty years providing therapy inside secure hospitals and prisons like Broadmoor working with violent offenders who have committed terrible crimes - serial homicide, stalking, arson. Her job is to help them to better know their minds and in turn understand why people do what they do. In this conversation, we look at the concept of evil, her work and lessons learnt, her experiences and the benefits of therapy. It will challenge you, it may even change how you think about offenders and evil. </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
