Описание: Using case studies of patients the author had worked with, this title argues that psychosis is not a medical condition but an outcome of the `divided self`, or the tension between the two personas within us: one our authentic, private identity, and the other the false, `sane` self that we present to the world.

Описание:

A dazzling work of memoir, biography and cultural criticism on the subject of loneliness, told through the lives of six iconic artists, by the acclaimed author of "The Trip to Echo Spring."
What does it mean to be lonely? How do we live, if we're not intimately engaged with another human being? How do we connect with other people? Does technology draw us closer together or trap us behind screens?

When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in her mid-thirties, she found herself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis. Increasingly fascinated by this most shameful of experiences, she began to explore the lonely city by way of art. Moving fluidly between works and lives - from Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" to Andy Warhol's Time Capsules, from Henry Darger's hoarding to David Wojnarowicz's AIDS activism - Laing conducts an electric, dazzling investigation into what it means to be alone.

Humane, provocative and deeply moving, "The Lonely City" is about the spaces between people and the things that draw them together, about sexuality, mortality and the magical possibilities of art. It's a celebration of a strange and lovely state, adrift from the larger continent of human experience, but intrinsic to the very act of being alive.

Описание: Shows how the straitjacket of conformity imposed on us leads to feelings of alienation and a waste of human potential. This title examines schizophrenia and psychotherapy, transcendence and `us and them` thinking, and illustrates ideas with a case history of a ten-day psychosis.
