About this listen

Prepare to be intrigued, amazed, and astonished!

Join Dr. Rhona Morrison on an often funny, and at times downright bizarre, thought-provoking, and eye-opening roller-coaster ride through some of the most curious encounters of her career as a leading forensic psychiatrist.

Delve into the minds of real people whose actions may shock and stun you, but whose stories have the power to challenge your assumptions and the stigma that surrounds mental illness.

Travel directly into their living rooms and see behind the closed doors of hospitals, prisons, and court rooms. Lift the lid on Dr. Morrison's jaw-dropping experiences with murderers, stalkers, and other dangerous offenders as she attempts to make sense of some highly unusual situations. Discover the true stories of the inspiring human beings who are bravely learning to live with major mental illness.

I Don't Talk to Dead Bodies shines a powerful, emotional, and surprisingly moving spotlight on the fascinating life of a forensic psychiatrist and the people she works with. It goes beyond the sensationalist headlines to show you just what happens in a world where mental illness occasionally makes good people do bad things.

An amazing listen, listened twice now. Genuine and heartfelt. Growing up 5 minutes from carstairs and my papa being a charge nurse there and my sister following suit

First of all I loved hearing the gentle Scottish lilt of Rhona Morrison and she has a calming effect.

I would say I thought this would have a lot more stories about the patients and types of work rather than personal life story too. Not that it's not enjoyable to read, I thought it was a little misleading as this isn't the first forensic psychiatrist audible I've listened too and they were more case based.

Saying that I did enjoy hearing about her life and family but it went back and forth so sometimes she was in training and other times she was in several high positions.

What I did get was that Rhona is a very special lady who was made for this role. She comes across as non-judgemental, happy to go against the grain for the safety and well being of her patients. She has managed to talk about some of the worst mental illness and the people society look down on and still have empathy.

I could see that she loved her job and she handles some more alarming situations very professionally and was still willing to see the same patient even after inappropriate behaviour.

For me personally I would love to hear more about her patients and cases. She seems to have cut some of the stories just short and without reason, bit odd but it wasn't a massive issue. I was done by chapter 33 onwards, it became more of a needing to finishing the book rather than getting so involved it's over before you know it. I enjoyed the stories and I'm glad we have gems like Rhona in this world.

Should have Memoirs in the title!

I loved listening to this book, Rhona has a lovely Scottish accent that is so easy to listen too. The stories are absorbing and very entertaining, for want of another word given the sadness behind some of them.

Rhona tells the stories of criminals, patients and various other characters so sympathetically and realistically that you feel as if you were in the room.

I highly recommend this audiobook.

Brilliant Book

Was an ok read. Not badly narrated but there's an awful lot of personal family life background that seems to overwhelm what I'd hoped would be more anecdotes relating to forensic psychology solely.

more tales of forensic psychology...?

This book had everything it was serious and humorous in equal measures and it made me cry which, for me, is always the cardinal sign of a good book. I wish the author a happy retirement and best of luck with her artwork.

excellent
