"Solace and laughter
Sweet offspring of our youthful days
And you, Love, the brother of youth,
The bitter sigh of later days,
I care nothing for. Not knowing why,
I almost flee from them,
Virtually solitary and estranged,
From this my native place,
I let the Springtime of my life fly by..."

so moving :(

Obvious theme underlying research into cause of schizophrenia over past century: misogyny. 'Schizophrenogenic' mother cited as cause for schizophrenia in families (no evidence to support). 'Bad' mothers and 'bad' wives automatically blamed within families. Book conveys how prejudice hinders real progress: these psychiatrists pinned the blame on women, ignoring evidence suggesting schizophrenia has a biological root.
