This book blew my world open. Yes, people become schizophrenic due to their environment. Yes, people can be driven to madness by their families, when they are told their pain is their fault, or not real, and they are isolated, and are forced to accept a reality that is not true to their experience. It is clear in each of these families how the individuals went crazy, and in their own way, are the sanest people in their families, and have moments of connected clarity about their family life and dynamics that the rest of the family is denying the reality of. This is an important book, that when taken seriously, is perhaps the truest and most accurate account of how a person becomes 'crazy'. Please read it. ( )
