It's a fascinating look at the history of our culture's understanding and treatment of madness, as well the changing relationship we've had with the state of believed madness. And of course, it's wonderfully written with humor as an added bonus. ( ) whitewavedarling | Nov 2, 2008 | Reviewed here. scott.neigh | Oct 29, 2008 | A brilliant, innovative and mendacious history.
