Medical Psychotherapy

Tony enthauptete sein erstes Opfer, Ian missbrauchte seine zwei kleinen Söhne, Charlotte trat als junge Erwachsene einen Obdachlosen zu Tode. Wer sind die Menschen hinter diesen schrecklichen Gewalttaten? Was hat sie dazu gebracht, anderen so etwas anzutun? Und wie ist es, ihnen gegenüberzusitzen? Seit über dreißig Jahren arbeitet die führende forensische Psychiaterin Gwen Adshead mit den schlimmsten Verbrecher*innen, Menschen, die die Boulevardpresse gern als »Monster« beschreibt. Anhand von elf unterschiedlichen Fällen nimmt sie uns mit in die Therapiesitzung und offenbart, was diese Männer und Frauen denken und erlebt haben. Sie zeigt sie in ihrer ganzen Komplexität, Menschlichkeit und Verletzlichkeit. Wie eine Detektivin sucht die Autorin nach den Faktoren, die einen Menschen zum Mörder machen, und entschlüsselt so den Code des Bösen. Sie entlarvt dabei nicht nur Mythen und Vorurteile, sondern hinterfragt auch die Strukturen des Gesundheitssystems, das Therapien oft viel zu spät ermöglicht. ›Warum Menschen Böses tun‹ erzählt spannend und mit radikaler Empathie von Grausamkeit und Verzweiflung, aber auch von Veränderung und Heilung.
