Description
John Henry Timmis IV recounts his experiences at the Menninger Clinic in this candid and often provocative memoir. Born into a wealthy family, he was diagnosed with psychopathy as a teenager after a string of rebellious misdemeanors. His time at the clinic, where he was subjected to solitary confinement and group therapy sessions, had a lasting impact on his life. Timmis's story is one of self-mythologizing and rebellion, but also of genuine introspection and creativity. As JTIV, he recorded autobiographical songs in a style he called "Destructo-Rock," and was recognized for creating the longest film ever made, The Cure for Insomnia. This book pieces together his wild and bizarre story, offering a unique glimpse into the life of a complex and fascinating individual. With its raw honesty and unflinching self-examination, From the Inside is a thought-provoking and often unsettling read.
