The Voices Inside Their Heads

I love this article. Gail Hornstein is someone I’d like to have tea with. For more…..click on the link below to Sun Magazine.

“If we lived in a part of the world that was given to greater religiosity, unusual psychological experiences might be labeled as divine gifts.”

“There’s skepticism that people who have been labeled “mentally ill” can get better…This is one of the great tragedies of psychiatry.”

“My belief that I’ve learned more about psychology from mental patients than from anyone else is certainly an unpopular position for someone with a PhD in psychology to take.

“We would have far fewer people labeled “mentally ill” if we didn’t include all the young adults who don’t have enough guidance to move forward in their lives, who feel so overwhelmed by others’ expectations that they can’t cope and fall apart.”
