Problem of drawing from psychiatry for a fiction writer

Abstract

Transcript of a talk given at the Annual Meeting of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, 10 July 2001 My topic is the problem of drawing from psychiatry for a fiction writer. This is a subject on which I am eminently well-qualified to speak. I have written five novels and a short-story collection, all of which have dealt with minds in disorder. Two of my novels – one called Spider, the other Asylum – have been focused centrally on psychiatry and psychiatric illness, so it is about the writing of these two novels that I want to talk today.
