Summary of this Book... | ||
This book is Dr Jamison's autobiography of her manic-depression. She begins her story back in her earlier days and gradually brings the ferocious story of her madness on as the book progresses. She later becomes a psychiatrist, wholly missing the fact that she is manic-depressive. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
Dr Jamison could potentially save, if not change, the lives of many, whether mentally ill or not. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
As an aspiring psychologist I was amused by everything, but the best parts took place during her slightly more cured years. She fell in love with a British soldier, studied for a semester in Scotland, and practically healed during these times. It was a fantastic experience to feel almost as if you were healing with her. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
Some of the details were extreme. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Write a psychology book of my own! | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
I felt every bit of the madness leak through the pages into me. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
It is excellent for those who can identify with Dr Jamison and it is a first-hand learning experience for those who know nothing of the life of the mentally ill. | ||
I don't recommend this Book because... | ||
It may be extreme in some parts. | ||
