When the sun bursts : the enigma of schizophrenia / by Bollas, Christopher,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-212) and index."Many schizophrenics experience their condition as one of radical incarceration, mind-altering medications, isolation, and dehumanization. At a time when the treatment of choice is anti-psychotic medication, world-renowned psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas shows that schizophrenics can be helped by much more humane treatments, and explains that they have a chance to survive and even reverse the process if they have someone to talk with them regularly and for a sustained period soon after they show signs of imminent breakdown. In this sensitive and evocative narrative, Bollas draws on his personal experiences working with schizophrenics since the 1960s. He offers his interpretation of how schizophrenia develops, typically in the teen years, as an adaptation during the difficult transition to adulthood."--Up against the wall -- A nation's madness -- Frozen psychosis -- Free speech -- A magical bench -- Listening to a different logic -- Mind-blowing thoughts -- From history to mythology -- Leaving things alone -- Metasexuality -- Hearing voices -- Assumed knowledge -- Hiding the mind -- Dodging thought -- Somatoforms -- Dumbing down -- Where are you from? -- Change -- Lucy on an island.

She kills me : the true stories of history's deadliest women / by Wright, Jennifer,1986-author.; Bee, Eva,illustrator.;

Includes bibliographical references.Psychos--but not the way misogynists say it -- Pretty poisoners -- Bad fam -- Black widows -- Scorned women -- Murderous mercenaries -- Killer queens -- Badass warriors (not princesses) -- Avenging angels.In every tragic story, men are expected to be the killers. There are countless studies and works of art made about male violence. However, when women are featured in stories about murder, they are rarely portrayed as predators. They're the prey. This common dynamic is one of the reasons that women are so enthralled by female murderers. They do the things that women aren't supposed to do and live the lives that women aren't supposed to want: lives that are impulsive and angry and messy and inconvenient. Maybe we feel bad about loving them, but we eat it up just the same. Residing squarely in the middle of a Venn diagram of feminism and true crime, She Kills Me tells the story of 40 women who murdered out of necessity, fear, revenge, and even for pleasure.
