Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780786225958.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist shed never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital as renowned for its famous clientele--Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles--as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary.\n\nKaysens memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a \"parallel universe\" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties. Girl, Interrupted is a clear-sighted, unflinching documnet that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane, mental illness and recovery.\n\nFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Thorndike Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45792530989109,"sku":"ByrdShop_0786225955","price":240.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780786225958_dcb4c02c-1067-4643-8aae-6865246f2c49_22608fb3-5ebe-425d-915d-8e0c43250101.jpg?v=1789734436","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/girl-interrupted-9780786225958","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
