Description
"Virginia Cunningham appeared to have had an idyllic life -- a nice home, a loving husband and prospects for a writing career. But something just wasn't right. Confusion, doubts about her husband's love, even violent outbursts led Virginia to be confined to a mental institution. She is put through a series of brutal treatments, including being forced into close quarters with patients whose disorders far exceed her own. The belief -- the shock of the experience will return her to sanity. An unflinching portrayal of the sometimes inhumane practices of psychiatric care"--Container.
