Trainee psychiatrist Dr Hannah Wright is back at the acute psychiatric ward at Menzie’s Hospital, where she’s thrown into the deep end of the outpatient clinic, the Oasis.
Helping patients deal with a range of issues from OCD to ice addiction, childhood abuse and the mental health impact of ageing, Hannah also comes under pressure to seek therapy herself to confront her own traumatic past. She also finds herself up against a boss who's focused on medication, a senior colleague with a score to settle, and fellow first-years grappling problems of their own.
Anne Buist is chair of Women's Mental Health at the University of Melbourne and author of the psychological thrillers Medea's Curse, Dangerous to Know and This I Would Kill For.
