David's Box: The Journals and Letters of a Young Man Diagnosed as Schizophrenic, 1960-1971 - Tapa blanda
Reseña del editor
These journals of a highly intelligent young man document in painstaking detail what it was like to be diagnosed with schizophrenia in the 1960s the dehumanising attitudes, the inept prescription of drugs, and other shortcomings of mental health services. David's diaries and letters give an insight into the experience of madness that no textbook or retrospective account could supply. David was a fly on his own wall, attempting all along to make sense of his life, but barely succeeding. The dilemmas of people like David continue to challenge mental health professionals and service users today. In a final summing up, the authors evaluate what progress has been made since 1970.
