Presently she is in private practice and lectures worldwide. Founder and Honorary President for life of the International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy and a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, she has written about group analytical psychotherapy in Forensic Psychotherapy and is best known for her clinical work with mothers who harm their children and her theoretical conclusions which quashed the myth that ‘perversion’ was largely a male preserve and opened up a whole new field of therapeutic enquiry. In 1997 she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Science degree by Oxford Brookes University for her contributions to the field of forensic psychotherapy. Her most recent book is Playing with Dynamite: A Personal Approach to the Understanding of Perversions, Violence and Criminality (Karnac 2011)
