Carol Topolski

Carol Topolski is a practicing psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Her many previous roles include music festival organiser, advertising executive, teacher, nursery school director, director of a rape crisis centre and refuge for battered women, probation officer and film censor.

Carol’s first book, the critically-acclaimed Monster Love (Penguin 2007), is based on her many diverse and extraordinary professional experiences. Her second novel, Do No Harm, builds a dark, compelling portrait of a good, upright life going horribly wrong.
