eBook
Inside the Mental
2016
Overview
Before she became a psychiatric nurse at 'The Mental' in the 1950s, Kay Parley was a patient there, as were the father she barely remembered and the grandfather she'd never met. Part memoir, part history, 'Inside The Mental' offers an episodic journey into the stigma, horror, and redemption that she found within the institution's walls. Now in her 90's, she looks back at the emerging use of group therapy, the advent of patient rights, evolving ethics in psychiatry, and the amazing cast of characters she met there. She also reveals her role in groundbreaking experiments with LSD, pioneered by the world's leading researchers to treat addiction and mental illness.
