On this episode of the psychology Talk Podcast, our guest Dr. Brent Willock takes us on an unprecedented rollercoaster as he discusses his latest book, "The Wrongful Conviction of Oscar Pistorius."

Brent Willock earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Michigan. After several years on staff in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan Medical Center, he relocated to Toronto to become Chief Psychologist at the university-affiliated C.M. Hincks Treatment Center. He was Adjunct Faculty, York University, Associate Faculty Member, School of Graduate Studies, University of Toronto, and taught at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.

Prepare to be captivated by a narrative that unravels the complexities of the human mind, law, and justice. With Dr. Willock's expert, psychological analysis, we navigate the intricacies of this gripping story that challenges our understanding of guilt, innocence, sleep, and the capacity of the human mind for dissociation.

Dr. Willock explores the Pistorius case through the eyes of neuroscience and psychology. He also provides case law example from the Parks case in Canada from the 1980s, a similar murder trial. This episode, laike his book, is likely to be controversial, but also extremely informative regarding the issues at hand in the Pistorius case, and gives credence to an alternative perspective.
Dr. Willock also covers somnambulism and how it plays out over the lifespan, parasomnias, and sleep terrors. This discussion may lead you to question cultural assumptions about waking life and the idea that we are a singularity and in control of our fullness of selves.
