Ever wondered if you are in the wrong job? Some psychiatrists have no such worries. They believe they can work miracles, so convinced are they of their power to cure.
That's my impression of an horrific case now being discussed. A man known only as X wants anonymity. He is a double killer, having also sexually mutilated one of his victims. For fun, presumably.
Last year he wanted the right to unescorted leave as he was being prepared for release. The courts said no, he was still too dangerous. His lawyer argues that now he is a hospital patient he has the right to hide his past: " No matter how horrific these crimes are and I accept these crimes are high up on the scale of horrific crimes," he said.
So that's alright then. The man is in hospital, the experts are working their magic and no one else has the right to know what he has done. There were no details of when he committed the crimes - let's hope it wasn't recently.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such self belief that you would be happy to let this man walk among us, sure in the knowledge that you have cured him? These people are amazing! We should all bow down before them.
