Title: this book played some pivotal role in saving my life
Review: No kidding--in my early 20s madness courted, descended and moved in lock stock and kitchen sink for several difficult but very interesting and ultimately valuable years. I shoplifted this book out of a fine bookstore on the main street in Annapolis, MD (a stone throw from the handsome 18th century state capital building), and saw hope for a path out.Many other factors came into play, including of course the fact that health insurance used to actually pay for mental health treatment as decided upon by the patient/doctor. team. There was also plenty of other money and general resources including a stubbornly loving family and ultimately a real human being who also happened to be a shrink (a very rare cooincidence).Vonnegut took a similar ride and if you are too, or a loved one, friend or acquaintance may be, try to get 'em a copy of this book.
