内容説明

Fifteen years ago, Stuart Sutherland, himself a psychologist, suffered a severe mental breakdown. In the first edition of this work, he recounted his experiences of this agonizing event with remarkable candour and perception. His illness lasted, with intermissions, for 10 years. In this updated edition, he describes its consequences, which were often bizarre. As a psychologist, the author was prompted by his illness to rethink the problems of the care and treatment of the mentally ill, and in the book he examines the benefits and pitfalls of the many methods of treatment. His controversial review will cause concern among many psychiatrists and psychotherapists, but he has undoubtedly succeeded in penetrating the ignorance and prejudice surrounding mental illness.
