Kristin (149 KP) rated The Boon: Thoughts of a Schizophrenic in Remission in Books

Dec 7, 2018

Disclaimer: I was given an e-copy by the author in exchange for an honest review.

I'll start by saying I hold a Master's Degree in Forensic Psychology, so when I was approached to read and review this book, I jumped at it. Schizophrenia was one of the many different topics throughout my coursework, and I'm always eager to learn more about anything Psychology-related. I thought back on my different classes, and while we discussed all sorts of things about Schizophrenia (symptoms, effects on the individual and family/friends, therapeutic treatment, drug treatment, etc.), I don't recall having ever read an anecdotal account from someone with the illness, and I think it's just a fantastic idea.

While this book is very long, it's well worth the read if you're either like me and are interested in Psychology, or if you either have or know someone who has Schizophrenia (Sz for short). Reading this book gave me all sorts of personal insight into the illness that you just can't find in a textbook, and I'm sure it would greatly benefit anyone who is affected in their life by Sz in some way. I found the opening philosophies on God to be very interesting, as it was a new way of looking at the topic for me, and it really drew me in to see what all Eugene believed, had been through, is going through, etc. The various quotes from song lyrics, psychologists, other Sz memoirs, and numerous other sources really worked to convey just what Eugene was thinking and feeling, especially the ones pulled from his earlier writings.

As I said, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has Sz in some form of their life: either themselves, a family member or friend, therapists, social workers, etc, as well as those who are studying or just interested in Psychology. First-hand accounts are few and far between, and I feel I learned more about Sz, its effects on the mind as well as the idea of "remission," from this book than I did throughout my coursework.

5 stars for its ability to suck you in and keep you reading and learning, no matter how long it is =)

Kati Morton - Review.

Kati Morton hosts a channel centered around mental health and psychology, aimed at educating those with mental health problems, their loved ones or simply folks who just want to learn.

Kati has a great grasp of the English language, making it easy to understand and connect with her content. She speaks moderately fast - slow enough to be understandable and fast enough to be engaging. Her voice is very soothing, very pleasing to listen to.

When she presents her points, she educates her audience with short snippets of important information. She provides context on many of her points and patiently explains different aspects of mental health, self-care, and psychology to her viewers.

She answers her viewers' questions and frequently responds to comments.

More often than not she provides advice (fantastic example of that is the "Hoq to help someone" playlist) and resources, for free.

I definitely recommend her channel.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Mindhunter - Season 1 in TV

Fascinating

A great all round series as a couple of FBI agents interview violent offenders around the US to try and understand their psyche.
If you like crime dramas, or programmes that look at the psychology of serial killers you'll enjoy this. The acting is very good and it feels well made all round. Some of the later episodes seem to go a little off track from the start. But overall it's a very good series on an interesting subject.
