A powerful memoir for sufferers, their families, and the professionals who care for them.
For ten years, Arnhild Lauveng suffered as a schizophrenic, going in and out of the hospital for months or even a year at a time. A Road Back from Schizophrenia gives extraordinary insight into the logic (and life) of a schizophrenic. Lauveng illuminates her loss of identity, her sense of being controlled from the outside, and her relationship to the voices she heard and her sometimes terrifying hallucinations. Painful recollections of moments of humiliation inflicted by thoughtless medical professionals are juxtaposed with Lauveng's own understanding of how such patients are outwardly irrational and often violent. She paints a surreal world--sometimes full of terror and sometimes of beauty--in which 'the Captain' rules her by the rod and the school's corridors are filled withProdukt A Road Back from Schizophrenia: A Memoir (Lauveng Arnhild)(Paperback) popisuje EAN kód 9781510724952.
