Recenzii
Praise for Inconvenient People
"This might seem morbid reading, but Wise's research is rigorous, her writing is lucid and witty, and this book is engaging, although disturbing. A must-read for those who work in the mental health industry, I think most people will find it both eye-opening and provocative." —The Guardian
“Ms. Wise delves deeply into her unsettling subject, finding bizarre humor in it as well as tragedy . . . She extracts richly detailed material from the archives and animates it with great narrative flair.” —The Wall Street Journal
"Wise’s meticulously researched study adds a fresh perspective to current scholarship on insanity and offers a chilling reminder of 'the stubborn unchangeability of many aspects of the lunacy issue.'" —Publishers Weekly
Praise for the UK edition of Inconvenient People
