  Who is 'Mad'? Who is Not? And Who Decides?
  In this fascinating new exploration of mental illness, Professor Brendan Kelly examines 'madness' in history and how we have responded to it over the centuries.
  We travel from the psychiatric institutions of modern India to scientific studies of the brain in Victorian England. We discover the beginnings of formal asylum care and witness the experimental therapies of the cavernous psychiatric hospitals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland, England, Belgium, Italy, Germany and the United States.
  Covering lobotomy and the Nazis' Aktion T4 campaign, as well as Freud, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy and neuroscience, In Search of Madness examines the shift in recent times from 'psychobabble' to 'neurobabble'.
  This is an all encompassing history of one of the most basic fears to haunt the human psyche – madness – and it concludes with a passionate manifesto for change: four proposals to make mental health services more effective, accessible and just.

  Consider this: a woman who had been blind since birth—who had never seen light, color, or even darkness—suddenly described the precise details of her husband’s appearance and the wedding ring he wore, after returning from a Near-Death Experience. For the first time in her life, she truly saw.

  Stanislaus and Cecylia Witkowski were born and grew up in Poland in the early twenties, at a time of relative peace in that troubled country's history. They met, fell in love, and planned to spend the rest of their lives together. Fate stepped in when Poland was invaded by both Germany and Russia in September, 1939. Like so many, the young lovers were parted and the course of their lives changed forever. 
  True love sees hope in the bleakest of situations, recognises no boundaries and surmounts the insurmountable. Stan and Cecylia's story is played out against the background of the events of the war in Europe and, later, in Australia, as immigrants with no knowledge of the language nor the customs of their adopted country. Despite extreme difficulties and sometimes seemingly impossible odds, Stan and Cecylia remained firm in their resolve to stay together.
