Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us have been enthralled - perhaps appalled - by the revelations that have spilled out of Anthony Clare's riveting Radio 4 series, In the Psychiatrist's Chair. Here, in another volume based on the programme, he takes twelve more interviews, prefacing each, as before, with a brief essay on what he, as a psychiatrist, felt before, during and after the encounter. This volume includes an as yet unconfirmed selection from the current series of interviews with Antony Sher, Gore Vidal, Zoe Wanamaker, Gita Sereny, Hanif Kureishi, Nigel Lawson, Rosie Boycott, Margaret Cook, Jonathan Miller, Lewis Wolpert, Don McCullin, John Pilger, Steven Berkoff, Brian Rix, Susan Greenfield, Sheila Cassidy, Gerry Robinson and John Bayley. It not only offers some astonishing insights into the psyches of the famous, but also turns the tables and allows the reader into the psychiatrist's head.
