Gracefully Insane 在線電子書 圖書描述

Its carefully landscaped grounds -- chosen by Frederick Law Olmsted and dotted with four-and five-story Tudor mansions -- could belong to a prosperous New England prep school. There are no fences, no guards, no locked gates. But McLean Hospital is a mental institution -- one of the most famous, most elite, and once most luxurious in America. McLean "alumni" include many of the troubled geniuses of our age -- Olmsted himself, Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, James Taylor and Ray Charles -- as well as (more secretly) other notables from among the rich and famous.

In its "golden age," McLean provided as gracious and gentle an environment for the treatment of mental illness as one could imagine. "If the patient did not like the lamb we served for dinner and asked for lobster, we gave lobster," one steward recalled. "They could afford it. Appleton House [the men's ward] was like the Ritz Carlton." But the golden age is over, and a downsized, downscale McLean is struggling to find its place in today's brave new world of psychopharmacologically-oriented mental health care.

Gracefully Insane, by Boston Globe columnist Alex Beam, is a fascinating and emotional biography of McLean Hospital from its founding in 1817 through today, based on original research. McLean's own records, and interviews with former and current patients and staff. It is filled with stories about patients and doctors: the Ralph Waldo Emerson protege whose brilliance disappeared along with his madness; Anne Sexton's poetry seminar; the analyst (and McLean patient) whose own analysis was disastrously botched by Sigmund Freud himself, and many more. The story of McLean is also the story of the hopes and failures of psychology and psychotherapy, the evolution of attitudes about mental illness and approaches to treatment, and of the economic pressures that are making McLean -- and other institutions like it -- relics of a bygone age.

Finally, Gracefully Insane is, in the author's words, "a book about the men and women who needed shelter more than most of us, or who, in some cases, were more honest about their need for protection than we are. And about an institution that provided that shelter, imperfectly, in our imperfect world."

This is compelling and often poignant reading for those who have been moved by books like Plath's The Bell Jar and Susanna Kaysen's Girl, Interrupted (both inspired by their authors' stays at McLean) and for anyone interested in mental health care, in the history of medicine, or in the social history of New England

——《雅致的精神病院——美国一流精神病院里的死与生》读后 正如本书的题目所表达的,精神病,这个富有浪漫气息进而富有现代气息的字眼,代表的是某种“优雅”(gracefully)的疾病,就像肺结核一样。不但阿尔尼姆、爱伦坡等人的笔下有关于精神病的怪诞作品,卢梭...

拿到这本书到读完,用的时间并不长,一是因为内容通俗,另是因为我对这一类问题是如饥似渴的,我想知道,精神病院里究竟是怎么一回事? 当然,我遇到了常规性问题,就是阅读这种书总是免不了的一种持续心慌,烦躁,要用很大的意志来使自己保持理智,阅读精神混乱者的作品,或...

知名摇滚歌手、5座格莱美奖获得者詹姆斯·泰勒(James Taylor)1969年在他第一次大型巡回演唱会上,在演唱“漫游动物园/Knockin' Round the Zoo”之前,都会描述他在精神病院度过的日子:“我在麦克连(McLean,美国著名的精神病医院)时写下了这首歌,后来为我赚进百万美元,...

过年期间,我复习了老电影《飞跃疯人院》,对1960年代时髦的精神疾病疗法产生了深深的好奇,比如电击疗法,水疗法,还有可怕的“前额叶白质切除术”。 经过简单的学习,我发现所有动真格儿的(精神分析法不算)的疗法,都建立在一个逻辑之上:你身上多出了不该有的东西!比如1...
