Glenn Close says: Another Kind of Madness is one of the best books I've read about the cost of stigma and silence in a family touched by mental illness. I was profoundly moved by Stephen Hinshaw's story, written beautifully, from the inside-out. It's a masterpiece.

A deeply personal memoir calling for an end to the dark shaming of mental illness

Families are riddled with untold secrets. But Stephen Hinshaw never imagined that a profound secret was kept under lock and key for 18 years within his family--that his father's mysterious absences, for months at a time, resulted from serious mental illness and involuntary hospitalizations. From the moment his father revealed the truth, during Hinshaw's first spring break from college, he knew his life would change forever.

Hinshaw calls this revelation his "psychological birth." After years of experiencing the ups and downs of his father's illness without knowing it existed, Hinshaw began to piece together the silent, often terrifying history of his father's life--in great contrast to his father's presence and love during periods of wellness. This exploration led to larger discoveries about the family saga, to Hinshaw's correctly diagnosing his father with bipolar disorder, and to his full-fledged career as a clinical and developmental psychologist and professor.

In Another Kind of Madness, Hinshaw explores the burden of living in a family "loaded" with mental illness and debunks the stigma behind it. He explains that in today's society, mental health problems still receive utter castigation--too often resulting in the loss of fundamental rights, including the inability to vote or run for office or automatic relinquishment of child custody. Through a poignant and moving family narrative, interlaced with shocking facts about how America and the world still view mental health conditions well into in the 21st century, Another Kind of Madness is a passionate call to arms regarding the importance of destigmatizing mental illness.

Might be the Goldilocks blanket

Everybody loves these blankets. Couch throw or super comforting blanket on top of bed covers. My wife selected the first. Now we own 4 or 5. Wife, son, couch, gifts to niece and father. Easy to wash; comes out new again. Doesn't feel cheap or low quality textile like. Feels great light-medium weight! Not too hot. Not too thin or light. Just might be the goldilocks blanket.

Plush, cozy, just right.
Color: Cow Print (Faux Fur Bubble + Flannel), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
Love, love this throw. It is not heated, but will keep you warm. It is extremely good looking to throw over a chair or sofa, and is exceptionally plush and soft. I gave one to a friend as well as a gift, she does not ever express much emotion, but indicates really likes hers. I am glad I ordered one for myself. Truly pleased.

Worth the money

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this throw. I got it on a super discount at $19. It’s double sided fur so you can feel the fluffiness on either side. It’s thick and soft and I’m so glad I bought it.
