This fascinating history of mind doctors and their patients probes
the ways in which madness, badness, and sadness have been
understood over the last two centuries. Lisa Appignanesi charts a
story from the days when the mad were considered possessed to our
own century when the official psychiatric manual lists some 350
mental disorders. Women play a key role here, both as
patients-among them Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and Marilyn
Monroe-and as therapists. Controversially, Appignanesi argues that
women have significantly changed the nature of mind-doctoring, but
in the process they have also inadvertently highlighted new
patterns of illness.
