Joining me today on the podcast is forensic psychiatrist Gill Patterson and we are talking about The Panopticon by Jenny Fagan.  This is an absolutely brilliant book which I read in a day on holiday. There are many themes which are quite dark, quite thought provoking and I think Anais, the central character, will stay with me for a very very long time.
 
Gill and I talk about forensic services,  especially forensic services for women. We talk about adverse life experiences we talk about normal responses to abnormal situations, we talk about the care system, we talk about connecting with young people and about seeing people holistically as their three dimensional selves. The Panopticon is a brilliant brilliant novel which I would really really recommend that you read and I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Gill about it today.
