Ming in the Psychiatrist’s Chair

Former Lib Dem leader Sir Menzies Campbell was interviewed by Dr Raj Persaud in an event called the Psychiatrist’s Chair at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

From the Times:

It promised much — a candid, soul-baring encounter between a psychiatrist skilled in the probing of great minds and a political grandee seasoned by life’s storms. Both men have their demons: the former tainted by scandal, the latter one of many ensnared in the parliamentary expenses affair.

The article offers but tantalising snippets of the interview (patient confidentiality?), but content yourself here with such hints. It’s a pity that the Times, who sponsored the event, didn’t post up a video or at least provide a fuller account.
