Rich and poetic exploration of psychosis
I bought this as part of self-education about schizophrenia now that a close family member has been diagnosed, and also because it was recommended by Martha Nussbaum, a brilliant philosopher. It is a great book for anyone interested in the way the mind works, regardless of the case studies of those adjusting from the difficulties of psychosis and schizophrenia. It explores the nature of the self and how we as individuals seek to navigate any difficult passage in our lives. Fascinating and illuminating.

TL;DR- interesting premise, poor execution, too much jargon.
