5.0

Brave, honest, exposing - a rare window into the most vulnerable moments of psychosis. Definitely a must read for anyone working in mental health in particular, to remember the system that once did (and sometimes still does) tremendous amounts of harm. Elyn Saks is a testament to the human spirit.
