Description
On Madness: Understanding the Psychotic Mind
This groundbreaking work offers a profound alternative to traditional approaches to understanding psychosis. By combining patient memoir, psychopathological observation and philosophical thought, Richard G. T. Gipps sheds new light on the nature of delusion and psychosis.
Through his unique blend of clinical insight and philosophical analysis, Gipps shows how we can better understand the suffering of those who experience delusion, while also recovering the value of expressive and symbolic forms of understanding that are often overlooked in favour of rational approaches.
