Living With Schizophrenia
In her memoir, "The Center Cannot Hold," Elyn Saks tells of her struggle to create a life in the face of devastating delusional suicidal schizophrenia requiring hospitalization. A graduate of Oxford and Yale Law School, and currently a Professor of Law and Psychiatry at the University of Southern California, she is clearly an extraordinary person and her story is inspiring. She says medication kept her alive, but psychoanalysis gave her a life worth living. She recognizes her continued vulnerability.
