For ten years, Arnhild Lauveng suffered as a schizophrenic, going in and out of the hospital for months at a time. This book 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. Though sometimes critical of mental health care, she ultimately attributes her journey back to health to the medical staff who saw her as a person simply diagnosed with an illness. It is a powerful memoir for sufferers, their families, and their doctors.
