In Forensic Fables, one of Canada's best-known experts on forensic risk management, Christopher D. Webster, combines his knowledge of how mental illness can lead to crime and violence with his lifelong love of literature. Each of the 20 chapters reviews a story or novel from internationally acclaimed literature, explores the psychology of violence or crime in the story, and, where possible, offers a diagnosis of the perpetrator and other characters. Some chapters also weave in similar stories, for a total of 42 tales. Webster argues persuasively that clinical assessment of risk would benefit from the techniques of the great writers to capture patients' and offenders' complex circumstances and motivations. This book can help mental health evaluators become better writers, but it is also for lovers of literature who want to understand the psychology of characters in works that have succeeded in capturing the human experience.
