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

4.0

Wow, what a book. Very heavy material on schizophrenia, sexual abuse and family dynamics but a very engaging and educational read. Loved the tie throughout the book of the Hidden Valley Road House and exploration of nature vs nurture. I also cannot stop thinking about how until recently one main theory was schizophrenia was thought to be a result of poor mothering. Misogyny runs deep.
