5.0 out of 5 stars "We read to know we're not alone", 15 April 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Welcome to My Country (Hardcover)
This is an extremely insightful book. It is hard to imagine anyone who had not suffered from OCD or depression writing about the experience with anything approaching the accuracy of this. Lauren Slater's style is both honest and unapologetic. It is easy to read and yet conveys very well life on this drug both good and bad. She is particularly good on the mental wrangles on authenticity of self and the idea of Prozac as a steroid for the mind that I for one recognise. This is the perfect embodiment of the quote 'we read to know we are not alone' and I would recommend this to anyone taking Prozac if you want to better understand your journey. Psychologists/counsellors and Prozac-prescribers should definitely read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent example of literary non-fiction, 27 Jun 2008
By Ms. A. Voulgari "bookmonkey" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Welcome to My Country (Paperback)
'Welcome to my country' is the fascinating story of a young psychiatrist at the start of her career, narrating her account of her encounters with a number of different clients.

Lauren Slater's writing is beautifully captivating; she mixes psychological theory with her own reflective experience to create a fascinating acocunt that breaks down the barriers in our understanding of the terms 'doctor' and 'patient' and challenges our view of mental illness and recovery.

Going back into her personal history, the book's ending is absolutely fantastic, as it fully explains the author's personal troubled journey through to the other side of mental health. An excellent read for anyone interested in the social sciences, medicine, or just in challenging and questioning their own sanity.
