Dr Hurlow is a Psychiatrist in the final year of specialist training in the assessment and treatment of mentally disordered offenders in North East London. Whilst developing particular expertise in working with offenders diagnosed with personality disorders, his interests are broad. He has published research into exceptional creativity and mental disorder. Amongst other popular events, he has produced several Maudsley Debates on ‘Mad Genius’, Assisted Suicide and Private Sector Mental Health Services with speakers including Baroness Mary Warnock, Claire Fox and Sir David Goldberg. His interest in ‘hard questions’ led him to work with the All Party Parliamentary Group for Drug Policy Reform to carry out an Inquiry into the Alternative Regulation of Novel Psychoactive Substances, due to be published later this year. At the Royal College of Psychiatry he sits on the Faculty of Addictions Working Group into New Trends in Addiction and the Executive Committee of the Philosophy Special Interest Group. He is an avid supporter of the next generation of British Contemporary Artists, including his wife Tereza Buskova. |
