For over thirty years he has worked in prisons and secure hospitals diagnosing and treating some of the most troubled men and women in society. A lifetime of care takes us from delusional disorders to schizophrenia, steroid abuse to drug dependency, personality disorders to paedophilia, and depression so severe a mother can kill her own baby.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are the human stories behind the headlines. The reality of a life spent working with patients with the severest mental health disorders. The tragic and often frightening truth about what happens behind closed doors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr Ben Cave takes us on a journey to the heart of this highly emotive environment, putting himself under the microscope as well as his patients. In the process, he allows us to share what they have taught each other, and how it has changed them. To share the psychological battle scars that come with a career on the frontline of our health service. To learn about the brilliant mental health nurses for whom physical injury and verbal abuse are a daily hazard. To learn about ourselves, and what we fear most.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e---\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThoughtful, revealing, often haunting and always enlightening, if you liked\u003ci\u003e Unnatural Causes \u003c\/i\u003eby Dr Richard Shepherd\u003ci\u003e, Do No Harm\u003c\/i\u003e by Henry Marsh and \u003ci\u003eThis is Going to Hurt \u003c\/i\u003eby Adam Kay this book is for you.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242631844184,"sku":"9781841885568","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781841885568.jpg?v=1777662921","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/what-we-fear-most-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
