Rhona’s memoir I don’t talk to dead bodies…the curious encounters of a forensic psychiatrist.

This is Rhona’s first publication, her writing prior to this having been limited to providing expert opinion reports for court on mentally disordered offenders, murderers and rapists!

Destigmatisation of mental illness and valuing people for who they are, are core values which shine through this entertaining memoir.

Wow...an incredible read. Mentally ill people can be difficult patients. Mentally ill criminals - even more so. So what made a Glasgow woman spend her life trying to reach, treat and rehabilitate these most demanding patients? In this touching and honest account of life as a forensic psychiatrist, Rhona Morrison relates hilarious and shocking anecdotes, shines a light on to society's wrong assumptions and bravely anchors her life story in the personal traumas that beset her sister and husband. This is a fluent, compelling and intimate book about our disregard for folk living with mental illness and a clarion call for NHS professionals to show more empathy and take more time with patients on the margins.

I loved every page of 'I don't talk to dead bodies'. It's emotional, amusing, shocking and best of all shared from the heart by the delightful and effervescent Rhona Morrison.
Michael Heppell, Sunday Times No 1 Best -selling author.

This book offers an incredible insight into the world of a forensic psychiatrist, with bizarre, humorous and scary anecdotes. Most importantly, it challenges the reader to question their assumptions and the stigma surrounding mental illness. Highly recommended.
