He takes us through the halls of mental hospitals where some of his subjects have been imprisoned for decades; into the research labs; to the burdened and afflicted poor, rural and urban. He talks to faith healers and voyages around the world in a quest for folk wisdom. He analyses the medications of today as well as reviewing the politics of diagnosis and treatment and, perhaps most significantly, he looks at the vital role of will and love in the process of recovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e**ONE OF THE \u003ci\u003eGUARDIAN\u003c\/i\u003e'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAndrew Solomon holds a PhD in psychology from the University of Cambridge; is a professor of psychology at Columbia University and President of PEN American Center; and is a regular contributor to the \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, and the\u003ci\u003e New York\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTimes\u003c\/i\u003e.
