Appealing to a wide variety of readers of all ages, the book takes its readers on a thought-provoking journey, from the heights of Mount Everest to the sun-blasted deserts of Central Australia, and from a Bavarian lake to a remote island off the coast of northern Australia, discussing the minds of some of the worldâ (TM)s most bizarre doctors, patients and murderers. The book will be of great interest to those with an interest in medicine, health care, psychology, psychology and mental illness-related crimes.
