The heartrending story of a midcentury American family with twelve children, six of them diagnosed with schizophrenia, that became science's great hope in the quest to understand the disease.
Don and Mimi Galvin seemed to be living the American dream. After World War II, Don's work with the Air Force brought them to Colorado, where their twelve children perfectly spanned the baby boom: the oldest born in 1945, the youngest in 1965. In those years, there was an established script for a family like the Galvins--aspiration, hard work, upward mobility, domestic harmony--and they worked hard to play their parts. But behind the scenes was a different story: psychological breakdown, sudden shocking violence, hidden abuse. By the mid-1970s, six of the ten Galvin boys, one after another, were diagnosed as schizophrenic. How could all this happen to one family?
What took place inside the house on Hidden Valley Road was so extraordinary that the Galvins became one of the first families to be studied by the National Institute of Mental Health. Their story offers a shadow history of the science of schizophrenia, from the era of institutionalization, lobotomy, and the schizophrenogenic mother to the search for genetic markers for the disease, always amid profound disagreements about the nature of the illness itself. And unbeknownst to the Galvins, samples of their DNA informed decades of genetic research that continues today, offering paths to treatment, prediction, and even eradication of the disease for future generations.
With clarity and compassion, bestselling and award-winning author Robert Kolker uncovers one family's unforgettable legacy of suffering, love, and hope.

非常有意思的一部非虛構,以一個美國傢庭的經曆串聯起精神分裂癥的科學研究發展。作者也以一種較為客觀,不帶評判的方式去呈現整個故事。但可能因為多數的采訪素材由兩位女兒特彆是小女兒提供,患病者或已經去世或精神狀態導緻無法準確講述,難免有視角的偏差。讀完尤其對於Mimi這位母親渴望瞭解更多。

評分一大傢子的精神病史,有點《The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks》的影子:先人的悲劇竟在無意間造福瞭後人。舊時代對女性更是不公,憑什麼孩子有精神問題全賴在母親頭上?不存在的爹或是始作俑者(畢竟父愛如山)
