A Mind that Found Itself
商品資訊
商品簡介
Clifford Beers pulls back the curtain on the grim inner workings of early 20th-century mental asylums in this groundbreaking 1908 memoir. Diagnosed with manic depression as a young man, Beers recounts his harrowing experiences confined in abusive institutions ill-equipped to treat mental illness humanely. His chronicle sheds light on the unchecked maltreatment of patients suffering from mental disorders in the early 1900s.
Beers details the inhumane devices and practices he endured, from straitjackets and violent plunges into ice-cold bathtubs to prolonged isolation. His revealing account contrasts the brutality of these archaic treatments with the compassionate care some doctors provided-visionaries who inspired Beers's own push for reform. His courageous expos?led to increased government supervision and laid the groundwork for the mental health advocacy movement.
Gripping and profoundly unsettling, "A Mind That Found Itself" pulls no punches, giving an unfiltered look into early mental institutions. Beers forces society to confront its historical neglect and mistreatment of the mentally ill, calling for more humane and evidence-based practices. Both an insightful memoir and a searing critique, this book shares one man's resilient struggle to overcome his condition, gain insight into his psyche, and advocate for the voiceless suffering in a broken system. Beers sheds light on the duty we have toward society's most vulnerable.
