The Meaning of Madness

Author: Dr Neel Burton
Publication info: Acheron Press: 2009
ISBN: 0956035302

The book proposes to open up the debate on mental disorders, to get people interested and talking, and to get them thinking. For example, what is schizophrenia, why is it so common? Is there a relationship between mental disorder and genius?

"Interestingly echoes the research being undertaken at POWIC-SANE by Tim Crow – is schizophrenia homo sapiens-specific and the price we pay for language?" – Marjorie Wallace

"This remarkable book shows the deep connections between ‘madness’ and some of our most important attributes as human beings." – Professor Bill Fulford, Fellow of St Cross College, University of Oxford
