Dr Sohom Das

The Open University in Scotland is delighted to be supporting this event with forensic psychiatrist Dr Sohom Das at Aye Write, Glasgow's Book Festival.

As a forensic psychiatrist, it's Dr Das' job to treat and rehabilitate what the tabloids might call the 'criminally insane'.

Dr Das' work takes him to high-security prisons and securely locked hospital wards, as well as inside courtrooms, giving evidence as an expert witness. He must delve into the minds of 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 fifteen 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.

Tickets are £11.00 and can be booked via the Aye Write website

There's a wide variety of free learning resources on the OU's free learning site OpenLearn, including an introductory level course in forensic psychology
