Paperback. Zustand: New. A patient is standing in the middle of the river. He gazes across the water to the city and the mountain above where the sun is setting. His back is turned to the hospital. The nurses are waiting for him patiently on the river bank. He seems uncertain whether to cross the river or to return. There is no danger. He is on the edge, in an in-between space, as is the hospital where I have worked as a specialist psychiatrist for over twenty-five years. For many of us, mental illness is shrouded in mystery, and our understanding of it largely influenced by misrepresentations in the media is often founded upon misconceptions and fear. In Madness: Stories of uncertainty and hope, Dr Sean Baumann, who has spent 25 years as a psychiatrist at Valkenberg Hospital in Cape Town, lifts the veil on madness, arguing for a more nuanced and empathetic understanding of mental illness. In this book, Baumann tells the stories of his patients and draws on his experiences working in the South African public health sector. Based on the authors personal encounters and interviews with persons dealing with various forms of psychoses, this book uncovers what it really means to suffer from, amongst others, schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder. We meet a man whose shoes can transport him to the moon, an elderly, aristocratic couple, and a young man who, one day, goes into labour without warning. But there are also the first-hand accounts of people plagued by unknown enemies frightful external forces which control their every move and thought. Madness encourages a more inclusive way of making sense of mental health. Writing with sensitivity and empathy, Bauman draws on topics such as art, psychology, consciousness, free will and theories of the self to show that mental illness raises questions that affect us all especially the meanings we attach to being who we are.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. 'I am not ill. the doctors stole my organs for black magic. I am responsible for the fall of mankind. I am under attack from the outside world. the voices tell me to throttle her. she comes to fetch my heart. she comes to fetch my breathing. I am too afraid.'In 'The Troubled Mind', Sean Baumann seeks to address the fear and misapprehension surrounding mental illnesses. Through his personal engagement with patients, he describes the experiences of those living with schizophrenia, bipolar mood disorders and other severe forms of psychiatric disorders.The stories told are authentic, compelling and mysterious, representing vivid expressions of minds in turmoil and the struggle to give shape and meaning to mental distress. The author describes these encounters respectfully, believing that careless representations of mental illness cause further suffering and exclusion. Neuroscientific, socio-cultural, historical, philosophical contexts, and perspectives from the arts are used to shed light on the varied and enigmatic phenomena of mental illness. An argument is made that many of the issues described in these encounters reach beyond the possibly arbitrary confines of mental illness, and raise questions that affect us all, including concerns about the self, free will, and consciousness, and the meanings we attach to being who we are. 'The Troubled Mind' is illustrated by award-winning artist Fiona Moodie.'Blends the personal and the scientific in a seamless and empathetic narrative. thought-provoking and authoritative. a tremendous achievement'. Nicholas Shakespeare.…
