The SHRINK!: ...and you thought you were crazy!

by Richard McLean

The Shrink …and you thought you were crazy', is a collection of cartoons that reflect Richard McLean's journey with schizophrenia in terms of navigating psychiatry himself and working with people within the mental health sector in Australia. Sombre yet still poking quirky fun at difficult situations, it is sometimes anti-psychiatry, sometimes self-depreciating, yet full of experiences common to many, that relate to some profound observations of the difficulties of recovery and care from both sides of therapy, and observes what disjunctures often go on behind psychiatrists doors! Richard takes us on a comical, sometimes serious journey where the 'real world' does not seem as 'sane' as you once thought it was!
