    by 羅娜．莫里森, Rhona Morrison ...
    Translated by 姚若潔 ...
    「這世上，總要有人願意走進黑暗，才有人能走得出來。」她見過最孤絕的靈魂、最混亂的思緒，卻始終選擇傾聽、理解與陪伴。一位司法精神科醫師的真實故事，幽默、溫柔、帶著震撼。她不是在法庭審判罪人，也不是在驗屍房剖析遺體；她的工作，是深入最黑暗的心靈深處，找出被遺忘的那個人。她說：有時候，最需要被看見的，不是病，而是那個被病吞沒的人。司法精神科醫師羅娜．莫里森，在英國國家醫療體系工作超過三十年。她的病人，有人犯下暴行，有人讓社會避之唯恐不及——但她始終選擇看見「人」，而非「標籤」。這些真人真事可能會使你意外又吃驚，但他們的故事也強力挑戰著我們對精神疾病患者的刻板印象。我一向相信，如果你想贏得一個人的信任，誠實是最好的策略，即使要傳達的訊息並不令人開心。下面是我們的對話。「我注意到你外衣袖子裡有東西。我在想那是不是武器？這不會影響我幫你看診，我不想為你製造麻煩。我只是想確定我們會面時，彼此都是安全的 ...
