The human fascination with fire is thousands of years old. Fire is the great paradox: it provides warmth, energy and protection but also terror and destruction. What does a forensic psychiatrist think of when confronted by the arsonist? What drives a person to deliberately light fires? What role does mental illness play in fire lighting? Join me as we discuss arson and the curiosity of pyromania, with some flames of pop culture also burning away! (TW: description of violent crimes)
