Book ID/图书代码： 00200017B99883
English Summary/英文概要： What happens if the psychiatric hospital in which you have lived for ten years is bombed and all the staff run away? What is it like to be a twelve-year-old and see all your family killed in front of you? Is it true that almost everyone caught up in a disaster is likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder? What can mental health professionals do to help? How does one stay neutral and impartial in the face of genocide? Why would a doctor support military intervention?
Outside the Asylum is Lynne Jones’s personal exploration of of humanitarian psychiatry and the changing world of international relief; a memoir of more than twenty-five years as a practising psychiatrist in war and disaster zones around the world. From her training in one of Britain’s last asylums, to treating traumatised soldiers in Gorazde after the Bosnian war, helping families who lost everything in the earthquake in Haiti, and learning from traditional healers in Sierra Leone, Lynne has worked with extraordinary people in extraordinary situations. This is a book that shines a light on the world of humanitarian aid, and that shows us the courage and resilience of the people who have to live, work and love in some of the most frightening situations in the world.

Lynne Jones 是一名战后创伤精神后遗症方面的国际专家。她不畏艰险，前往战争冲突地区，为那些需要帮助的人们提供照料，而在该类地区，精神健康方面的资源几乎是不存在的。她的一手资料和观察会让读者大开眼界，让人们关注战争与精神疾病之间通常被忽略的关系，以及通过正确的规划和愿景能够以较低的成本提供的帮助。这本书对于接受心理健康培训的读者而言非常有用。—— Simon Baron-Cohen教授。
It will fill you with soaring admiration for those who dedicate their lives to help those who need it, fired by a strong belief in humanity. (Caroline Sanderson THE BOOKSELLER)
As revealing as the writing of Oliver Sacks ... Inspiring (Mark Cousins)
Lynne Jones is a world expert on the psychiatric consequences of the trauma of war. She has not shied away from providing care to people in the heart of conflict zones, where such mental health resources are virtually non-existent. Her first hand observations will open readers’ eyes to the awful connections between the neglected relationship of war and mental illness, and of what can be provided at relatively low cost, with the right planning and vision. This is essential reading for those training in mental health, to consider the broader picture of the causes of mental illness that one may not see in the routine hospital clinic. An outstanding piece of work. (Professor Simon Baron-Cohen)
