Why are we so fascinated with Characters in books & and on screen that we really should dislike. They use people, they hurt people and they just don't care about the consequences of their actions, yet we still root for them! Hannibal Lecter, Frank Underwood and James Bond come under this heading . They also feature in a new book called Psychopath? Why Are We Charmed By The Anti Hero?.

It's author is Consultant Psychiatrist Stephen McWilliams. Have a listen to his chat with Maria in The Saturday Cafe.
