Articoli correlati a Falling into the Fire: A Psychiatrist's Encounters...
A woman habitually commits self-injury, ingesting light bulbs, a box of nails, zippers and a steak knife. A new mother is admitted with incessant visions of harming her child. A recent graduate, dressed in a tunic and declaring that love emanates from everything around him, is brought to A&E by his alarmed girlfriend. These are among the patients new physician Christine Montross meets during rounds at her hospital's locked inpatient ward - and who we meet as she struggles to understand the mysteries of the mind, most especially when the tools of modern medicine are failing us. Beautifully written and deeply felt, Falling into the Fire is an intimate portrait of psychiatry and a moving reminder, in the words of the New York Times, of `our fragile, shared humanity'.

Recensione:
'A mind-boggling inventory of psychiatric pathologies... Dr Montross, an award-winning poet before attending medical school, is passionate about her work and her patients plight... The book emphasizes neither their madness nor our sanity in the face of mental disease, but our fragile and shared humanity.' --New York Times
'Montross explores the practical, emotional, and philosophical challenges of working with patients whose illnesses of the mind are often intractable and deeply disturbing' --New Yorker
'A piercing portrait of psychiatry... Montross seamlessly weaves together history, reportage and memoir while reflecting on the difficult questions that arise as she digs into psychiatry s past.' --Los Angeles Times
