Description

Sad, mad and bad. From the depression suffered by Virginia Woolf and Slyvia Plath to the mental anguish and addictions of iconic beauties Zelda Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe. From Théroigne de Méricourt, the Fury of the Gironde, who descended from the bloody triumphs of the French Revolution to untameable insanity in La Salpetrière asylum, to Mary Lamb, sister of Charles, who in the throes of a nervous breakdown turned on her mother with a kitchen knife. From Freud and Jung and the radical breakthroughs of psychoanalysis to Lacan’s construction of a modern movement and the new women-centred therapies. This is the story of how we have understood extreme states of mind over the last two hundred years and how we conceive of them today, when more and more of our inner life and emotions have become a matter of medics and therapists. Here too is the story of the professions that have grown up to offer treatment, and of how over the years symptoms and diagnoses have developed together to create fashions in illness.Many mental disorders – hysteria, anorexia, multiple personality, even depression – are diagnosed more frequently among women than among men. In asking why, Lisa Appignanesi brings vividly to life a series of exceptional, era-defining women and their mind doctors, and explores how women sometimes benefited from treatment, but sometimes did not, even when those giving the therapy were women too. In SAD, MAD AND BAD, Lisa Appignanesi takes us on a fascinating journey through the fragile, extraordinary human mind.
