In this episode we discuss a memoir of a mental health support worker who works with clients in the most deprived areas of London. We consider the issues arising from its author's deep interest in esotericism and the occult, and his attempts to redress what he perceives as the repressive shortcomings of the UK mental health system by resisting consensus models of mental health intervention and incorporating into his daily duties elements of magick and spirituality.
