Inside The Mind Of A Criminal Psychologist | True Crime Conversations

Tim Watson Munro has sat across from the worst of the worst.
Rapists. Terrorists. Mass murderers.
Tim’s a psychologist, who started his career in the prison system as the resident psych at Parramatta jail, before turning to the private sector - where he mainly worked for defence lawyers defending alleged crooks.
He’s assessed everyone from Julian Knight, the man responsible for the Hoddle Street massacre, to members of The Family, a so-called doomsday cult.
But it’s a job that took its toll over the years, as he absorbed the horrors his clients had both experienced and perpetrated on others. And as he discovered over the course of his career, it’s hard to get out the other side unscathed, when you’ve been dancing with other people’s demons.

Just read this guys book. Truly terrifying that a man with zero self-awareness and was willing to sell his soul for a buck is not only supposed to be able to help others with their issues but helped to put many people back out on the streets. I felt ill reading his story, and his complete lack of accountability for the breakdown of his marriage is beyond astounding. This man should in no way be in the mental health profession. A charlatan with an enormous ego.
