About this product
Product Information
Susan Doherty's groundbreaking book brings us a population of lost souls, ill-served by society, feared, shunted from locked wards to rooming houses to the streets to jail and back again. For the past ten years, some of the people who cycle in and out of the severely ill wards of the Douglas Institute in Montreal, have found a friend in Susan, who volunteers on the ward and then follows her friends out into the world as they struggle to get through their days. With their full cooperation, she brings us their stories, challenging the ways we think about people with mental illness on every page.

Winner of the 2019 Quebec Writers' Federation Literary Awards Mavis Gallant Prize for Non-Fiction "This is a book I wish I could have written. Susan Doherty's eyes, ears and heart show us professionals who our patients really are and what their lives are really like. We should all see the person before the diagnosis." -- Dr. David Bloom , medical chief, Psychiatric Disorders Programme, Douglas Institute "As a neuroscientist who understands the brain and its disorders, I know I still share the unconscious negative bias towards patients with schizophrenia. Yet in the startling detail of these stories about lives lost, Susan Doherty reveals the enduring humanity that resides within the souls of all persons suffering from this dreadful disease. She has given a voice to those unfortunate human beings who have long been unheard." -- Dr. G. Rees Cosgrove , neurosurgeon, Harvard Medical School "I'm thirty years old and have been in and out of the system for twelve years. It's about time a book came out that showed the mentally ill the way we actually are--as sentient and as competent as everyone else, though we might appear to be different. I loved reading these stories of unfairly marginalized people, some of whom I know personally. This book is the start of greater acceptance." -- Katharine Cunningham , a resident of Nazareth Community "Being able to reach out to people with a severe mental disorder without the self-protective measures that come with being a mental health 'professional' is an uncommon gift. Susan Doherty has it, obviously. Her account of her relationships with people with severe mental illness will bring you very close to them, and safely so. Reading her book might even make you a better person." -- Dr. Pierre Etienne , associate professor of clinical psychiatry, McGill University "This compassionate, perceptive and absorbing book chronicles the lives of people who have not let themselves be entirely crushed by the random cruelty of what used to be called insanity. Since more than one in four people is touched by mental illness personally or in their families, I recommend this readable, valuable book to everyone." -- Dr. James Farquhar , psychiatrist, Douglas Institute "With her brave and generous reporting from the front lines of intense human suffering, Susan Doherty delivers a fundamental challenge to everyone inside and outside the mental health system: what do we owe people who have lost their minds? Her poignant and harrowing profiles of men and women diagnosed with schizophrenia make a compelling case for the transformative power of personal compassion and tenacity." -- James FitzGerald , author of What Disturbs OurBlood: A Son's Quest to Redeem the Past "A luminous, fierce and loving portrait of our brothers and sisters who suffer in ways that can appear bewildering and frightening; that can deplete the compassion even of those who love them most--ways in which the abiding human need for connection is obscured by personal chaos. The Ghost Garden in itself is a signal and compelling act of connection, leavened with humour, clear-eyed yet packed with hope." -- Ann-Marie MacDonald , novelist and playwright, "Susan Doherty achieves a luminous, fierce and loving portrait of our brothers and sisters who suffer in ways that can appear bewildering and frightening; that can deplete the compassion even of those who love them most; ways in which the abiding human need for connection is obscured by personal chaos. The Ghost Garden is a signal and compelling act of connection. Leavened with humour, clear-eyed yet packed with hope, in this book, Doherty invites us to be part of that connection." -- Ann-Marie MacDonald , author of Adult Onset , The Way the Crow Flies and Fall on Your Knees, "This is a book I wish I could have written. Susan Doherty's eyes, ears and heart show us professionals who our patients really are and what their lives are really like. We should all see the person before the diagnosis." -- Dr. David Bloom , medical chief, Psychiatric Disorders Programme, Douglas Institute "As a neuroscientist who understands the brain and its disorders, I know I still share the unconscious negative bias towards patients with schizophrenia.

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
