About the Book

In 1978, not long after her College graduation, Elizabeth A. Richter experienced a temporary breakdown which led to a misdiagnosis and hospitalization of a little over two years at Harvard affiliated McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA. This book contains descriptions of the incidents which led up to her breakdown as well as life inside the hospital. In additional essays, Ms. Richter challenges the mental health system and social presumptions regarding the nature and treatment of mental illness. She then leaves us with the fundamental question of how do we know for sure who is, and who is not insane, and does it make a difference?
