Nobody's Normal is a breath-taking tour de force.
With lively illustrations across the centuries and spanning United States, England, Namibia, South Korea, and Nepal, Grinker shows how our shifting models of mental illness can only be fully appreciated by using different frames of reference. This fascinating book weaves together stories of mental illness during war, his grandfather's psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud, and a focus on post-traumatic stress disorder and autism. The net result is a compelling global panorama. An invaluable book.
Sir Graham Thornicroft, Professor of Community Psychiatry, King's College, London
