Hidden Valley Road
by Robert Kolker
Robert Kolker tells the story of the Galvins, a postwar American family with twelve children, six of whom developed schizophrenia. It's a harrowing family saga and a lucid history of how psychiatry tried, and repeatedly failed, to understand the illness, woven together with remarkable control.
