Professor turns to fiction

A leading mental health specialist has been inspired by his academic interests and personal experiences to write a ‘dark’ psychological thriller. 

Professor Paul Crawford, who lives in Clifton Village,  is the world’s first professor in the field of Health Humanities, which seeks to enhance people’s well-being through creative practices. 

His book, The Wonders of Doctor Bent, delves into criminal accountability and mental health.  He draws upon concepts such as social prescribing, which he has explored as part of his research, to demonstrate the positive impact of the arts on physical and mental health.

The Wonders of Doctor Bent will be published by Cranthorpe Millner on February 25 in paperback  costing £12 99.
