Críticas:

"I loved it. Berzon does a terrific job of telling a rich, conflicted, and ultimately triumphant life story and setting it in the context of milestones in the history of the gay rights movement, a history that parallels her own growth. I was genuinely moved." - Joan Larkin, Living Out series editor "Identity crisis is too mild a phrase to do justice to that witless period of my life. I punished myself in the mirror of society's image of me. They were, in fact, right I thought. I was all wrong for this world." - Betty Berzon "Betty Berzon is a treasure to the gay civil rights movement, a pioneering therapist who has shown many the way in battling homophobia. Now, in Surviving Madness, we get a rich account of the fascinating journey of her own life, the remarkable people and places that punctuated it, and the war that raged inside her head within a culture that has often demonized homosexuality. It is an enthralling, instructive, and ultimately uplifting story." - Michelangelo Signorile, author of Queer in America and Life Outside
