Mindhunting with Forensic Psychiatrist Dr Michael Schirripa
-- Dr. O’Leary interviews forensic psychiatrist and author Dr. Michael Schirripa about his career as a forensic psychiatrist, the release of his first thriller, Mindhunt, and his podcast Mindhunting. Dr. Shirripa explores how his love of literature influenced his decision to pursue forensic psychiatry and ultimately resulted in his creation of an international thriller with an ambitious forensic psychiatrist as the main character. We explore topics like medical ethics, medical education, popular culture, mental health stigma, Australian football, and how people react when we tell them we are psychiatrists.
