Rendition During Books Girl, Interrupted

In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd 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.

Kaysen's 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.

Notice Out Of Books Girl, Interrupted

This was a quick read but excellently written. I saw the movie years ago, which is different than the book. Also, I read this after reading I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. Bottom line is that it's not easy being an adolescent/young adult female in any day or time period. There are so many changes encountered while growing up and becoming an adult that it is very difficult to adjust to the changes and make the transition to being a successful, independent person.

Girl, Interrupted, Susanna KaysenGirl, Interrupted is 1993 memoir by American author Susanna Kaysen. In April 1967, 18-year-old Susanna Kaysen is admitted to McLean Hospital, in Belmont, Massachusetts, after attempting suicide by overdosing on pills. She denies that it was a suicide attempt to a psychiatrist, who suggests she take time to regroup in McLean, a private mental hospital. Susanna is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and her stay extends to 18 months rather than the

Disappointing. While there were some entertaining parts, I found the whole book strangely cold and lacking. The author gives virtually no insights whatsoever into her own illnes, or really how she felt about the whole situation. She came across a little like a spoilt ungrateful rich kid, which granted, at some point she does make a semi reference to. I could not really comprehend I what she was trying to do with this book,or who she was at all. I felt like she was telling the stories of those

"'Today, you seem puzzled about something. Of course I was sad and puzzled, I was eighteen, it was spring, and I was behind bars. Kind of sheds light on the whole system of mental asylums, doesn't it? Anyway how do you know if the treatment of a mentally disordered person is working. You won't take their word for it, and if they question the institution, than you can claim (and actually genuinely believe) that you are suffering from persecution complex. That is the trouble - they have a big

Saw the movie, loved Angelina in it. Now I'll tackle the book. Update: Finished the novel. I'm now convinced that the publication and fantastic reception of this novel was probably a great case of timing. Kaysen's account of her stay in McLean Hospital is a captivating look into her mental state during her 2 year stay. However, I've got to say that if she had stayed elsewhere, or tried to publish her account now, it probably wouldn't have been received as favorably. For the most part, many of

4.5 stars. The fifth book in my project reading one book from each year of my life. I started this one last night, getting through 25 pages in the blink of an eye. I read the next 75 pages this morning before eating breakfast, and finished it while playing Assassins Creed, cooking dinner, eating dinner, and then after dinner. I know a book is good when Im reading while doing things a person for the most part would not read while doing. I also loved that the title is taken from the title of a

have you ever spent any time in a psychiatric hospital? yeah, well, i don't recommend it. i was a patient for a total of 2 and a half days, and it was one of the best and worst experiences of my life. i liked this book because i was able to relate to some of her feelings. when i went in, it was because i was on the verge of something, and thank god i caught myself in time. my first morning there, i remember thinking, "i have to get out of here, because i may not be crazy now, but these people
