  • Who kills children? With Professor Colin Pritchard (EP. 8)

    In this episode I interview Professor Colin Pritchard, a distinguished academic and in my experience, a lovely, generous, wise individual. Professor Colin Pritchard is an Emeritus Professor, School of Medicine, University of Southampton and Visiting Professor at Dept Psychiatry and Research Professor in Psychiatric Social Work, Bournemouth University.

    I watched a youtube series of him being interviewed by Richard Williams - I watched all of them over two days, and found them captivating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aB5mjaSnaY&list=PLojsAdAKgOvoP2n317wFqQyRL3QwxTWPq

    His research can be found here, and the article discussed in this episode' who kills children' can be found here.
