Picking Up the Pieces
Pbk published June 2001 by Corgi at £6.99
ISBN: 0552147184The fascinating new book by the author of the award-winning bestseller The Jigsaw Man
Forensic psychologist Paul Britton can 'walk through the minds'
of violent criminals, seeing the world through their eyes. No
surprise, then, that the police have called on him to help with
many high-profile investigations.
Paul Britton's newest book, Picking Up the Pieces, reveals
the psychological and forensic foundations upon which he based
his expertise. For twenty-five years he has interviewed,
assessed and treated people with damaged and broken minds.
Some were responsible for terrible crimes, others were stopped
before it was too late. The answers aren't hidden at bloody
crime scenes, but locked away in the recesses of someone's
consciousness.
In this companion volume to The Jigsaw Man, Paul Britton
reveals the heart of his work and shows it to be both fascinating
and provocative.
