Sanity by Graham Thornicroft
In Sanity: Stories of Psychosis, Psychiatry and Stigma, Professor Thornicroft recounts the most dramatic and demanding experiences of his psychiatric career. Through vivid encounters with people living with psychosis, he explores what it means to work alongside individuals whose realities differ profoundly from his own, and his efforts to help them survive, recover and find hope in a world often marked by rejection. Blending memoir and case studies, each chapter offers a revealing story from critical moments in his professional practice, unflinchingly portraying the emotional challenges, professional conflicts and systemic pressures of modern community mental health care. Across these compelling accounts, he addresses questions frequently posed throughout his career: How does a psychiatrist remain emotionally grounded? Is treatment really more than just prescribing medication? And can a person with psychosis ever truly recover?
