Forensic Psychiatry has expanded exponentially in the last twenty years with a dramatic increase in forensic psychiatry posts and medium secure unit beds. More recently there has been increased concern with the treatment and management of mentally ill offenders which has led to more interest in understanding. Treatment is seen by many people to be of great importance, hence the formation of the International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy, and the founding of the first diploma in forensic psychotherapy at the Portman Clinic, London. This practical text book is written for all professionals involved with people who break the law.
About the Editor(s)
Estela V. Welldon is a psychiatrist, group analyst, and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, as well as a founding figure in forensic psychotherapy. Born in Argentina, she built her career in London, where she worked for many years as a consultant psychiatrist at the Portman Clinic, treating patients whose destructive and, at times, criminal behaviour grew out of their early histories and consequent inner lives. She is the author of the landmark Mother, Madonna, Whore: The Idealization and Denigration of Motherhood (1988), which challenged the long-held assumption that perversion and violence were exclusively male. She was the founder of the International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy, now in its thirty-fifth year. Her work has influenced clinicians, researchers, and readers well beyond the consulting room and all over the world. In this book, she turns her attention to her own story, offering a candid and deeply personal account of a rich and extraordinary life.
