Introducing us to eleven ordinary women who came to commit extreme acts, Anna Motz - one of Britain's leading forensic psychotherapists - sheds light on women's capacity for violence. She takes the reader on a journey into psychotherapy, uncovering their motives and the fault lines in their psyche that led to their crimes.
We meet Mary, who turned to arson after her son was taken into care, Maja, whose fantasy life led to her stalking an ex-boyfriend, and Dolores, whose terrible crime is unimaginable to most people. Always treating her patients with care and compassion, despite often struggling to process the details of their deeds, Anna Motz explores the dance between patient and therapist and the tortuous pathways to recovery and understanding. Deeply affecting, compelling and profound, A Love That Kills offers a rare glimpse inside the world of the forensic psychotherapist and asks us to consider vital questions about how society treats women who commit terrible crimes.
