'Enigma Of Madness'

Gail A. Hornstein
Professor of Psychology
'To Redeem one person is to redeem the World'

This afternoon, I attended a informative, insightful, Birkbeck College www.bbk.ac.uk/ 'Site of Conflict' Seminar Series talk, by Professor Gail A. Hornstein. I was also able to meet Jacqui Dillon in person, for the first time, as she was in the audience.
Gail's forthcoming book, 'Agnes' Jacket' will be in the shops soon.

  1. You've been busy. Thanks for all those links. Doesn't 'Youngs Minds' also feature first-person perspectives on mental illness? I know their magazine does.
