During his 62 years as a world-leading expert on the psychotic mind, Dr Leslie Sohn worked as a psychiatrist for the NHS and also as a psychoanalyst. He completed his psychoanalytic training at the Institute of Psychoanalysis in 1952 for whom he later became a Senior Training Analyst and Supervisor. Until 2010 (aged 91), he held the position of Consultant Psychiatrist at Broadmoor High Security Hospital and his work on violent offenses by mentally ill patients has been particularly influential.
A collection of his works is being prepared for publication and Dr Sohn’s monthly ‘Forensic Psychoanalysis’ seminar at the Institute of Psychoanalysis will now continue as the ‘Sohn Seminar’. We hope that you enjoy this ‘Encounters through the Generations’ film in which Dr Sohn discusses his life and work.
