Lisa Appignanesi charts a story from the days when the mad were considered possessed to our own century when the official psychiatric manual lists some 350 mental disorders. Women play a key role here, both as patients among them Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and Marilyn Monroe and as therapists. Controversially, Appignanesi argues that women have significantly changed the nature of mind-doctoring, but in the process they have also inadvertently highlighted new patterns of illness.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Appignanesi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Countryman Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.32w x 1.07d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393335439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAppignanesi, Lisa:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eLisa Appignanesi\u003c\/strong\u003e, is the author of \u003ci\u003eMad, Bad and Sad: A History of Women and the Mind Doctors\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAll About Love: Anatomy of an Unruly Emotion\u003c\/i\u003e.
