Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family by Robert Kolker

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

I have been a student of psychology for a couple of decades, just learning though, it's not my profession.  Naturally, this book was right up my ally.  It was an interesting mix of history, psychology, and the human experience.  The only downside of the book is that it could give the impression that Schizophrenia can cause violence or bad behavior.  The book does talk about it as an illness and is not the worst for this by any stretch.  It was about real people and was more about nature vs nurture and not a sensationalist look at mental illness.
