OUTSIDER, THE(ISBN=9780767901918) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　The Outsider is an unsentimental yet profoundly moving look at

one family’s experience with mental illness. In 1978, Charles

Lachenmeyer was a happily married professor of sociology who lived

in the New York suburbs with his wife and nine-year-old son,

Nathaniel. But within a few short years, schizophrenia–a

devastating mental illness with no known cure–would cost him

everything: his sanity, his career, his family, even the roof over

his head. Upon learning of his father’s death in 1995, Nathaniel

set out to search for the truth behind his father’s haunted,

solitary existence. Rich in imagery and poignant symbolism, The

Outsider is a beautifully written memoir of a father’s struggle to

survive with dignity, and a son’s struggle to know the father he

lost to schizophrenia long before he finally lost him to

death.

The Outsider is a recipient of the Kenneth Johnson Memorial

Research Library Book Award and is the winner of the 2000 Bell of

Hope Award, presented annually by the Mental Health Association of

Philadelphia to honor “significant and far-reaching contributions

benefiting those facing the challenge of mental illness.”
