On Prisons with Carine Minne

Questions, suggestions, or feedback? Send us a message!

Dr Carine Minne is Consultant Psychiatrist in Forensic Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis at England’s High Security Hospital, Broadmoor. She was also based at The Portman Clinic, London for three decades - an out-patient psychotherapy clinic for people suffering from problems of violence and sexual paraphilia - both under the NHS public health service.

She chairs the International Psychoanalytic Association Violence Committee and is editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy. She has published widely and lectures nationally and internationally. Her main focus always remains the rehumanising of the dehumanised. She doesn’t believe in innate evil but in evil acts that are carried out, therefore intervention and treatment is always worthwhile. She is speaking personal experience whilst not representing any of the aforementioned organisations.

We talk about:

• Working as a psychotherapist in a high security prison
• What creates a violent criminal
• How childhood trauma causes disinhibition
• Interventions during the first 1000 days of life
• Comparing reoffending rates in different countries
• The prison industrial complex
• Asymmetry of empathy for perpetrators and victims
• Education’s impact on recidivisim

Let’s investigate!
