Marina\nCantacuzino, The Forgiveness Project\n'A bold message.' Sunday Times\nIs violence normal?\nAren’t they all evil?\nDoes trauma cause violence?\nAnd can we change violent minds?\nFor Dr Gwen Adshead, these are the most common questions she is asked\nabout her work as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist in secure hospitals and\nprisons. Her answers are drawn from over thirty years of working with violent\nperpetrators and the insights she has gained from listening to the stories\nof those who have committed brutal acts.\nDr Adshead pays attention to an aspect of humanity we often find hard to\ncomprehend and invites us to do the same as she considers the motivations,\nthe risk factors, the social roots of violence as well as the rehabilitation of\noffenders. Compassion is central to her approach as she delves into the development\nof the mind and deepens our understanding of the human capacity\nfor cruelty but also for change. Expanding on her galvanising 2024 Reith\nLectures and including a new essay on good mental health, this is a potent,\nhumane and transformative read.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber Non Fiction","offers":[{"title":"Paperback Book","offer_id":50585964773654,"sku":"RMX-56924","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6cef1c695ccbb1075d679f18420d1ee6.jpg?v=1759933212","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/adshead-gwen-four-questions-about-violence","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
