paperback. Zustand: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. Albany. 2018. March 2018. SUNY Press. 1st Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9781438468785. Excelsior Editions. 6 x 9. 200 pages. paperback. keywords: Biography & Autobiography Literary Figures. DESCRIPTION - Twenty-two years ago, I lost my mind. So begins Jeanne Ellen Petrolle's fascinating personal narrative about her mental illness and recovery. Drawing on literature, art, and philosophy, Petrolle explores a unique understanding of madness that allowed her to achieve lasting mental health without using long-term psychiatric drugs. Traditionally, Western literature, art, and philosophy have portrayed madness through six concepts created from myth - Escape into the Wild, Flight from a Scene of Terror, Visit to the Underworld, Dark Night of the Soul, Spiritual Passion, and Fire in the Mind. Rather than conceptualizing madness as illness, a mythopoetic concept assumes that madness contains symbolic meaning and offers valuable insight into human concerns like love, desire, sex, adventure, work, fate, spirituality, and God. Madness becomes an experience that unleashes extraordinary creativity by generating the spiritual insight that fuels artistic productivity and personal transformation. By weaving her personal experiences with the life stories and work of surrealist painter Leonora Carrington and modernist novelist Djuna Barnes, Petrolle shows how poetic thinking about severe mental distress can complement strategies for managing mental illness. This approach allowed her, and hopefully others, to produce better long-term treatment outcomes. This is an extraordinary book that combines meticulous literary scholarship with memoir. It bravely challenges us to reconsider and reframe mental illness, defined here as an 'ultimate adventure in selfhood' that connects to beauty, creativity, and the sublime. As it traces how skepticism of prevailing attitudes and treatments can save lives, Dancing with Ophelia is also, at its root, a deeply spiritual book that grapples with love, courage, ambition, and the idea of God. - Aviya Kushner, author of The Grammar of God: A Journey into the Words and Worlds of the Bible. This book offers an interesting and engagingly written exploration of mental distress that draws on a range of literary and scholarly sources in combination with personal experience. It sits within the small, but growing, body of work that interweaves personal narrative with an academic analysis of 'illness' or disruption. - Deborah Bowman, coauthor of Informed Consent: A Primer for Clinical Practice inventory #43431.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Strasbourg burned with heat and hunger in the summer of 1518. Grain stores ran low. Fear ran high. Then something far stranger than famine took hold of the city, and nobody could explain it.It started with one woman, dancing alone in a narrow street with no music and no reason. Her neighbors laughed at first. Then they stopped laughing, because she would not stop moving, and within days, others began to join her. Within weeks, hundreds filled the streets in the same violent, trance-like rhythm, dancing until their feet bled and their hearts gave out.The city's physicians had a cure, and it was almost unthinkable: they built a stage, hired musicians, and told the afflicted to dance harder. You will watch that plan collapse in real time, as the very remedy meant to save the dancers pulls more of the city into the same nightmare. You will follow desperate families up a mountain path toward a saint's shrine, their last hope after medicine has already failed. And you will sit inside a city council chamber where grown men argue over fevers, curses, and poisoned grain while the death count climbs outside their window.Five hundred years later, historians still cannot agree on what caused it. Some blame a fungus on damp rye. Some blame fear itself, spreading faster than any disease could. This book will not settle that argument for you. It puts you in the square, in the crowd, in the heat, and lets you feel the pull of a plague that turned an entire city into something it could not control.Grounded in the historical record and told with the tension of a story that refuses to look away from its own horror, this is one of history's strangest true events, brought fully to life.Pick up your copy today, and find out how a single dancing woman brought an entire city to its knees.…
