Good Psychologist, Bad Psychologist
Available for over a year
In Good Psychologist, Bad Psychologist, almost a decade on from the release of documents on the CIA's so-called 'enhanced interrogation' programme, psychiatrist Raj Persaud explores the science behind such harsh methods, aspects of which were characterised by President Obama as torture. Dr Persaud talks to survivors of 'enhanced interrogation', psychologists and former members of the Intelligence Services to explore the impact of trauma both on the brains of individuals and on their mental integrity.
