On 14 October 2002, Margaret Tobin, the director of South Australias mental health services, was shot four times in an execution-style shooting in her Adelaide office building. Less than a month later, a deregistered psychiatrist, Dr Jean Eric Gassy, who had worked under Tobin in Sydney in the early 1990s, was charged with her murder. Gripping and thought-provoking, Inside Madness is an extraordinary story of premeditated murder, riveting court room drama and incalculable loss. But its also a story of courage, and the drive of a powerful woman fighting to improve services for the mentally ill. Inside Madness provides disturbing insights into mental health in Australia the abuses, the turf wars, the difficulties achieving change and the terrible toll of leadership.
