Item Description
The winner will receive Walking Through Walls: Overcoming the Barriers of Serious Mental Illness.
In the mid-1970s, writer Two Lenz was diagnosed with schizophrenia, inaugurating a journey through the American mental health establishment that has lasted more than three decades - taking her through two subsequent diagnoses (finally schizoaffective disorder), hospitalizations and numerous treatment techniques. Walking Through Walls: Overcoming the Barriers of Serious Mental Illness is an account of that history, a highly intimate and candid portrait of one woman's struggle to take control of her personal destiny while sharing her hope for a more promising future with others. In clear, lucid prose, Walking Through Walls weaves autobiographical narrative with a historical look at how mental illness has been understood through the ages and problems in modern approaches to handling the mentally ill. This first-hand, yet authoritative viewpoint makes the book applicable not only for those who suffer from mental illness themselves, but also for family, friends and co-workers of the mentally ill and those looking for a more thorough understanding of what the mentally ill go through on a daily basis. More than just an autobiography, Walking Through Walls resonates with the experiences of millions of Americans who suffer from mental disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and clinical depression.
