| | |  | | |  | | | | | Programme details | | | CHILDREN WHO KILL
Dr Loretta Loach talks about her historical study about children who kill other children. She’s writing a book on the subject, due for publication next year, in which she attempts to trace the history of how children who kill are perceived by society and how the role of psychiatry has contributed to this process.
Raj Persaud is joined by Dr Eileen Vizard, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and Clinical Director of the NSPCC’s National Child Assessment and Treatment Service and Gwyneth Boswell, Visiting Professor at the School of Allied Health Professions at the University of East Anglia to discuss the reactions of the public and authorities to children who kill and the links between sexually abusive behaviour and emerging severe personality disorder traits in childhood.
IMAGES OF PSYCHIATRY
The Royal College of Psychiatrists is launching a campaign to try to raise the profile of psychiatry as a profession. Whilst 10% of medical students need to choose the speciality to meet current need, only 4% are in fact doing so. Sheila Hollins, President of the Royal College outlines the campaign’s aims.
Rob, Jane and Sharon, student doctors who all came to Medical School keen to become psychiatrists, reveal why they have changed their minds.
