Psychiatric
Mental Health Nursing: Concepts of Care

Hardcover from F A Davis Co
Girl,
Interrupted
by Susanna Kaysen
When reality got "too dense" for 18-year-old Susanna Kaysen, she was
hospitalized. It was 1967, and reality was too dense for many people. But
few who are labeled mad and locked up for refusing to stick to an agreed-upon
reality possess Kaysen's lucidity in sorting out a maelstrom of contrary
perceptions. Her observations about hospital life are deftly rendered;
often darkly funny. Her clarity about the complex province of brain and
mind, of neuro-chemical activity and something more, make this book of
brief essays an exquisite challenge to conventional thinking about what
is normal and what is deviant.
