Beschreibung
"What was the likelihood my adopted daughter would have
my father's hazel eyes and my mother's mental illness?"
In this fiercely candid memoir, Dr. Pruchno, a scientist widely
acclaimed for her research on mental illness and families, shows how
mental illness threatened to destroy her own family. Not once, but
twice.
As a child, she didn't understand her mother's episodes of
crippling sadness or whirlwind activity. As a mother, she feared her
daughter Sophie would follow in the footsteps of the grandmother
Sophie never knew.
Unraveling the mysteries of her mother's and daughter's
illnesses, Pruchno fought to preserve her marriage and protect her
son. But it was not until she came to terms with her own secrets that
she truly understood the destructive and pervasive effects mental
illness has on families.
Surrounded By Madness is transforming. It will empower
families to stop hiding and start talking when mental illness strikes.
