Forensic psychiatrists are a small group of doctors whose primary job is to understand the motives of people in custody and determine why a crime was committed. Working in this field requires strong nerves, a good stomach, an understanding of legal and psychiatric language, and the ability to peer into the abyss without recoiling when confronted with a true monster at its very depths.

To understand the person sitting before them, a forensic psychiatrist typically asks them various questions: about family, work, or new interests.

- Why do people kill?
- Where should a person in custody be placed: in a psychiatric hospital or in prison?
- Is they insane or guilty?
- What was they like before the crime?
- If they are ill, what are the chances of recovery?

Richard Taylor explains how forensic psychiatric examinations and assessments are conducted for people who have committed serious crimes and are preparing for release. His book is a collection of cases from his practice, including high-profile ones, and reflections on the nature of the human psyche.
