Claudia Hammond
The programme that examines how we think and why we behave as we do, with psychologist, Claudia Hammond.
DOCTORS IN DIFFICULTY
When you feel ill or depressed your doctor is the obvious person to turn to, but who do doctors turn to when they鈥檙e in a bad way? 28% suffer from depression and an unusually high proportion think about suicide. At a conference this week on Managing Poor Performance in Doctors at the Royal Society of Medicine, evidence suggested that a lot of doctors who make mistakes aren鈥檛 simply bad doctors 鈥� they鈥檙e depressed or burnt out. The problem is such that from the autumn the National Clinical Assessment Service is starting a new pilot service in London especially for doctors and dentists. All in the Mind talked to Dr Becky Hirst, who works as a Specialist Registrar in palliative care in Sheffield and who was shocked to find herself unable to cope due to depression. We also hear from Jenny King, a psychologist at Edgcumbe Consulting Group who sees underperforming doctors; and Dr Antony Garelick, consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist who heads Mednet, a clinical service for doctors in South East England

But since truth drugs make you talk, but not necessarily tell the truth and lie detector tests are easy to fake, then there鈥檚 no reliable, scientific way of discovering the truth. But just the other day psychologists at a British Psychological Society event listened to an Indian neuropsychologist who believes he鈥檚 come up with the answer. Professor C R Mukundan is pioneering a system where the suspect doesn鈥檛 even say a single word. Brain Electrical Oscillations Signature profiling 鈥� or BEOS - works by analysing a subject鈥檚 brain activity in response to a series of statements 鈥� or probes - detailing their suspected involvement in the crime. When they hear a true statement which tallies with their experience their brain has a kind of flash of remembrance which is registered by a computer. BEOS has already been used in a number of murder investigations in India and Professor Mukundan told All in the Mind more about how it works鈥�..
