Summary

Shocking, eye-opening and grimly fascinating, these are the true stories, patients and cases that have characterised a career spent treating mentally disordered offenders.

Listen to the end of the audiobook for an exclusive bonus chapter, written and read by the author.

As a forensic psychiatrist, it's Dr Das' job to treat and rehabilitate what the tabloids might call the 'criminally insane', many of whom assault, rob, rape and even kill. His work takes him to high-security prisons and securely locked hospital wards across the country, as well as inside courtrooms, giving evidence as an expert witness.

From the young woman who smothered her two-year-old nephew in a flash of psychosis, to the teenager who set his house on fire with his mother locked inside, Dr Das must delve into the minds of these violent offenders to elicit their symptoms of mental illness, understand their actions and prevent future atrocities.

In this honest, revealing and at times humorous memoir, Dr Das shares stories from his 15 years as a psychiatric doctor working with this dangerous clientele, detailing some of his most extreme, heart-breaking and bizarre cases - and how he's learned to live with his mistakes when the worse happens.

Compelling, enlightening and candid, if you enjoyed Unnatural Causes, Dark Side of the Mind or The Prison Doctor, you'll love In Two Minds.

boring, sorry

I thought this would be a deep delve into the psyches of some criminals, but it's just a diary of how great the author is. Nice fella, but it's centred on him. I persevered until he mentioned his new baby being "on the teat" of his wife. what? He tries to be humorous but it falls flat every time. Everyone giving him 5 stars must be friends.

Exceptional

One of the best books I've read in a very long time, I couldn't put it down! A perfect mix of humour and respect for the perpetrators and victims spoke about during the book. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in crime and understanding the mind of people who have mental health disorders. Expertly ready by Sohom himself too.

Interesting, funny, not too dark

I thought the narration was fun, and it wasn't too complicated or wordy for the layperson. some interesting cases from his perspective, factual but with his experience and opinion too. I thought it was sensitively written with a bit of humour which I think you have to have when you work in this line of work. I liked hearing a bit about him as a person as well.

Great onsite to the forensic psychiatry world

Told through cases Dr.Das has been personally involved in. Really interesting and balanced take on mental health and the law.

Also quite funny in places :) would recommend if you like forensic psychiatry/true crime.
