A lifetime of addiction, eating disorders, and trauma culminates explosively after the author begins a PhD at the University of Oxford, and while in hospital she is liberated through psychosis. Her journey from terror to self-acceptance is grueling, and she makes meaning of it by weaving reflexive narrative with classic and nascent scholarship. Part phenomenological recounting, part social critique, the text disrupts bio-medical approaches to altered states by exploring their emancipatory potential. It also illuminates how conventional mental health treatment pathologizes human suffering. In doing so, The Becoming contributes to anti-psychiatry and Mad studies projects, each of which asks, 'What does it mean to be normal?' and 'Should we be sane in an insane world?'"-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 600 10 $a Luongo, Nicole $q (Nicole M.) $x Mental health. 650 0 $a Mentally ill $v Biography. 650 0 $a Addicts $v Biography. 650 0 $a Eating disorders $x Patients $v Biography. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma $x Patients $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mental illness $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Psychiatry $x Philosophy. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Luongo, Nicole (Nicole M.) $t Becoming. $d Toronto, Canada : Inanna Publications and Education Inc., 2021 $z 9781771338141 $z 9781771338141 $w (OCoLC)1258117536 830 0 $a Inanna memoir series. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706021307.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=41B48142B4A811ECBDCF981B5BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
