Elyn Saks is Professor of Law and Psychiatry at University of
Southern California Law School. She's the author of several books.
Happily married. And - a schizophrenic. Saks lifts the veil on
schizophrenia with her startling and honest account of how she
learned to live with this debilitating disease. With a coolly
clear, measured tone she talks about her condition, the stigma
attached and the deadening effects of medication. Her controlled
narrative is disrupted by interjections from the part of her mind
she has learned to suppress. Delusions, hallucinations and
threatening voices cut into her reality and Saks, in a remarkably
vivid way, enables us to hear and see them too. This is a powerful
book that is as informative as it is moving. There are parallels
with Jane Lapotaire's Time Out of Mind and with Girl, Interrupted.
