The latter part of the book was a little hard to understand, being an analyst's point of view full of technical terminology. But what Renee wrote was very very interesting indeed. I have to admit that schizophrenia is something I have always been curious about but have never really read up on the subject, so to "live" it through Renee was immensely informative. Reading the first reality distortions, to the gradual descent into unreality, learning about the System that so tightly governed Renee's every action and thought... And then learning how she was able to slowly meet reality again and the methods taken to make that possible. It was a wonderful insight. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This is the astonishing memoir of a young woman called only "Renee," whose descent into schizophrenia began at the age of five. Written with a diamond-sharp precision that lends it an eerie power, it tells the story of Renee's long sojourn in what she calls "The Land of Enlightenment" or "The Country of Tibet" and of her gradual and painstaking return to "wonderful reality." Renee moves in and out of hospitals, sometimes able to eat only tea and spinach, or apples and spinach, because "'The System forbade anything else." She regresses to a state resembling infancy, and she experiences intense despair, although she always describes her experiences with a pitiless and remarkable calm, as though she has observed herself from a great distance. And all the while she is sustained by the attention and understanding of her analyst, Marguerite Sechehaye, who has contributed an illuminating Afterword to her story. This harrowing and unforgettable work is a classic in the literature of mental illness. With a foreword by Frank Conroy. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
