"Nightmare:
A Schizophrenia Narrative" by Wendell Williamson
From the editor:
Nightmare: A Schizophrenia Narrative is the compelling first-person
account of one man’s struggle with a devastating mental
illness and its heartbreaking outcome.
Wendell Williamson was a promising young Uiversity of North
Carolina law student with many
talents and dreams until schizophrenia made his life a living
nightmare. His psychotic break in January, 1995, led to a
fatal confrontation in the streets of Chapel Hill. In these
pages, written while within the confines of a state psychiatric
hospital, Wendell describes his painful struggle to make sense
of the cruel, irrational world of psychosis.
Williamson’s malpractice lawsuit against his former psychiatrist
in 1998 sparked a national debate on issues of violence, accountability,
and standards of psychiatric care.
Told in an intelligent, articulate and sensitive voice, Wendell’s
story highlights some of the gravest problems our nation faces
today: our failure to recognize the needs of the severely
mentally ill, and the connection between severe, untreated
mental illness and the escalating random violence in our streets
and in our schools.

"Madness
of Adam and Eve: How Schizophrenia Shaped Humanity"
by David Horrobin
From the editor:
Modern evidence shows that families where schizophrenia is
present are also exceptionaly creative in many different fields.
Albert Einstein and James Joyce each had a schizophrenic child.
David Horrobin - a neuroscientist specialized in developing
new drugs for psychiatric and neurological disorders - draws
on his knowledge of evolution, medicine and psychiatry to
generate a startling hypothesis: we are human because some
of us are schizophrenic and because a "touch of schizophrenia"
is associated with that creativity which defines us and separates
us from our nearest primate relatives.

"A
History of Psychiatry: From the Era of the Asylum to
the Age of Prozac" by Edward Shorter
From the editor (on amazon.com):
The history of madness and its treatment is a fascinating
one. At one time, the mentally ill were diagnosed as demonically
possessed; later, when mental illness became the province
of psychoanalysts, those conditions that are actually physical
in nature, such as schizophrenia or manic depression, went
insufficiently treated, their sufferers consigned to asylums.
In his book, the author presents a concise chronology of mental
illness and its treatment. Shorter favors a biological understanding
of these disorders, concentrating on medical approaches to
helping the seriously mentally ill.
