I Survived Psychiatry
O ovoj e-knjizi
Interned at the age of 16, Christelle Rosar has been hospitalized for twenty years. She was restrained, injected with drugs and kept in a vegetative state. She has seen patients remain in hospital from adolescence to death, and others gradually suffer the side effects of treatments.
Now liberated, she recounts her struggle to regain her autonomy and her place in society, denouncing the abuses and flaws of the particularly violent French psychiatric system.
