Autorenporträt

The author has worked as a clinical psychologist. She took first class honours in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Psychology, and most recently a PhD. in English Literature. She worked for many years as a counsellor and therapist, specialising on adult trauma (including survivors of sexual assault and combat veterans). After retiring from her career as a psychologist she combined her studies in literature with her training and experience in psychology. This background has given her the ability to see beyond the approaches many scholars have taken in regard to Jane Eyre, providing her with a unique insight into the significance of fear in Bronte's narrative and the ways she uses manifestations of fear in constructing the text.
