The psychology of Alan Turing
16 September 2014
Michael Ferguson has written a fascinating book review of two recent biographies on the famous mathematician and cryptographer Alan Turing - who recently received a royal pardon following his prosecution for homosexuality in the 1950's. Did Turing kill himself with an apple poisoned with cyanide or was it a disguised assassination by the British Secret Security Services who might have become concerned that Turing was a security risk given his homosexuality? Michael Ferguson discusses these issues and others with psychiatrist Raj Persaud.
