Biography

After undergraduate education at Cambridge and UCL, I came to the Maudsley Hospital to train in general and forensic psychiatry. I am the Professor of Forensic Psychiatry at King's College London, where I lead the Forensic Research Group and the Forensic Mental Health MSc programme. I also work as a Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist within SLaM. Our research focuses on antisocial behaviour: its developmental origins, brain bases and treatment.
