## Description

Buy The Mind of a Murderer: A glimpse into the darkest corners of the human psyche, from a leading forensic psychiatrist by Taylor, Richard (ISBN: 9781472268204) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Fascinating & highly educational - I chose this book, having just finished Kerry Daynes' 'The Dark Side of the Mind', in which she recommends 'The Mind of a Murderer' - and can absolutely see why it was recommended. This is a fascinating, incredibly informative look at various types of murderers' psychiatric traits and treatments, from intimate partner killings to lone terrorist killings. Dr Taylor uses various case studies from his long career to give the reader an insight to the state of mind, motivations, medical conditions and background histories of the perpetrators of some exceedingly shocking, often tragic murders. He demonstrates great empathy and professionalism in his writing style, using a conversational, easy-to-understand tone to explain sometimes fairly complex concepts. He looks at the political influence of budget-cuts on mental health facilities and treatment, as well as the popularity of 'preferred' judicial outcomes for murder cases where there is clearly a public interest in seeing the murderer punished, rather than treated or rehabilitated. He ends the book with his thoughts and hopes for what could ultimately be changed or improved to help prevent some of these crimes being committed in the first place. All absolutely fascinating to read and a very balanced, thoughtful and thought-provoking book. Thoroughly recommend it.
Review: Mind of a murderer - Truly insightful book of how a murderer's mind might work. Very factual so there are cases because they are in the public domain i.e. a court case. There are cases you will have heard of. If you are thinking of choosing this as your job. Reading this may give you guidance. For me not medically trained it gives me an insight of how each case is different and the difficulties in assessing a person for the first time. Once started you will want to read more and more. I hope there is going to be a sequel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Psychiatric Insights into the Dark Side of Life
*by B***N on 23 March 2024*

Whether you love finding out information about psychology or true crime this is a good book to read. This psychiatrist has specialised in forensics for many years and highlighted some of his various cases. As a forensic Psychologist in training myself I can not recommend this book enough. Written in plain English and not jargon heavy. This doctor cares for his patients and the many families ge has support too.
