A fascinating window into criminal minds, suffused with compassion. 'Deeply moving.' GUARDIAN 'Brilliant . . . a powerful myth buster.' SUNDAY TIMES 'Unmissable.' OBDERVER 'Shocking and unflinching.' i 'Compulsive reading.' MIRROR Dr Gwen Adshead is one of Britain's leading forensic psychologists. She has spent over thirty years providing therapy inside secure hospitals and prisons for violent offenders. Whatever her patient's crime - serial homicide, stalking, arson - she helps them to better know their minds. Case by case, she takes the reader into the treatment room and reveals the complex and vulnerable humans behind these acts of terrible violence. These are stories of cruelty and despair, but also change and hope. The Devil You Know speaks to our shared humanity and makes the case for compassion over condemnation, empathy over fear.
