Faint hint of a crease down the spine of the book.Dr Eugene Erdler, psychiatrist, and Samuel Winthrop, brain surgeon, both work at Grey Towers to which a hundred new patients a year are sent by the criminal courts for treatment in lieu of detention in prison. Both are dedicated, highly skilled, and frequently in heated opposition over the most efficacious treatment of their patients. One of their guinea-pigs is an extraordinary man called Jeremy, who might be a temporal-lobe-epileptic or the victim of his early family life. When both men find themselves unable to handle him and Dr Erdler refuses to continue psychiatric treatment, Jeremy begins a persecution campaign centred on Fenella, Dr Erdler's wife. His ruthless and persistent persecution has one objective - to force Dr Erdler to take him back as a private patient. In the process he changes the lives of at least four people. This brilliant study of a patient locked in a struggle with his psychiatrist is a dramatic tour-de-force. That struggle, in which Samuel Winthrop becomes inextricably involved, leads to a complete reversal of roles - Dr Erdler and Fenella finding their own characters laid bare, their own motivations probed and analysed, and the carefully erected facade of their family life brought down.
