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

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...

“理性”成为知识界的关键词后,人们对“非理性”的关注也逐渐接近某种非理性的疯狂:主流心理学界早已冷眼视之的精神分析学说,仍在别的领域风靡不息,弗洛伊德的形象也越来越接近宗教领袖。因为天才常常具有普通人难以理解的行为方式,给历史上的杰出人物贴上种种精神病分类...
