West London forensic psychiatrist is BBC Reith Lecturer for 2024
A West London forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist is the BBC Reith Lecturer for 2024.
Gwen Adshead is a Forensic Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist.
Dr Gwen Adshead, who works at Broadmoor Hospital, is delivering lectures on the most pertinent questions on violence, that she has faced in her work as a forensics psychiatrist.
She will explore these questions from a clinical perspective, informed by thinking about the developmental and social roots of violence.
Dr Adshead’s work has led her to study how people develop social minds; how trauma affects the development of the mind and capacity to be pro-social and how best to help offenders rehabilitate.
The lectures are being recorded in front of live audiences in London, Dundee, Bergen and HMP Grendon - the first time a Reith lecture has been recorded in a prison.
They will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and the BBC World Service in December this year and will be available to listen to on BBC Sounds.
