MAD,SAD AND BAD

Book ID/图书代码： 00200007B17939

English Summary/英文概要： A brave and brilliantly researched intellectual history of the relationship between women and mental illness since 1800.
This is the story of how we have understood extreme states of mind over the last two hundred years and how we conceive of them today, from the depression suffered by Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath to the mental anguish and addictions of iconic beauties Zelda Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe. From Mary Lamb, sister of Charles, who in the throes of a nervous breakdown turned on her mother with a kitchen knife, to Freud, Jung, and Lacan, who developed the new women-centered therapies, Lisa Appignanesi’s research traces how more and more of the inner lives and emotions of women have become a matter for medics and therapists. Here too is the story of how over the years symptoms and diagnoses have developed together to create fashions in illness and how treatments have succeeded or sometimes failed. Mad, Bad, and Sad takes us on a fascinating journey through the fragile, extraordinary human mind. 5 illustrations.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者彙整由過去200百年來，歷史上重要的作家，對於他們當時的生活、心理背景、寫作風格來針對女性所做的研究。例如: 美國文學家費滋傑羅（著名小說《大亨小傳》作者）患有精神分裂症的妻子，賽爾坦‧費茲潔羅Zelda Fitzgerald、或是二十世紀現代主義與女性主義的維吉尼亞‧吳爾芙Virginia Woolf，與美國女詩人希薇亞‧普拉斯Sylvia Plath(童年父親的逝世，造成了她憂鬱症的一生，之後因丈夫外遇而自殺)。
這幾位舉足輕重的作家，他們的人生際遇和作品，究竟有什麼魅力能影響後世，使讀者們如此追憶?
