from the back cover:
In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital as renowned for its famous clientele - Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles - as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary. Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties.

It's impossible not to compare this with The Bell Jar, and in some ways I liked this better. For one thing, Bell Jar is rooted pretty firmly in its own time, which is not ours. Also, Kaysen has a chapter, Mind vs. Brain, in which she tries to show us how it feels to have a mind working against itself.
