The impact of the novel on psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working with abused and abusing children.

We Need To Talk About Kevin is a mother's account of the upbringing of her son, who commits a horrifying crime just before his sixteenth birthday. Now this award winning book is proving to be of great interest to analysts working with damaged and violent children. Jenni speaks to author Lionel Shriver and to Valerie Sinason an analyst who works with children and adults, specialising in trauma.

We Need To Talk About Kevin is published by Serpent's Tail (May 2006), ISBN-13: 978-1852424671
