Description

The woman who needed a zipper -- Fifty-thousand-dollar skin -- Your drugs take away the love -- I've hidden all the knives -- Dancing plagues and double impostors -- Epilogue : into the fire, into the water.;-- Falling Into the Fire Throughout, Montross confronts the larger question of psychiatry: What is to be done when a patient?s experiences cannot be accounted for, or helped, by what contemporary medicine knows about the brain? When all else fails, Montross finds, what remains is the capacity to abide, to sit with the desperate in their darkest moments. At once rigorous and meditative, Falling Into the Fire.
