Synopsis:
"Stick to polite conversation, wash, and keep your fly zipped up" - this is what psychologist Susan Baur is supposed to convince her schizophrenic patients to do. But when she arrives on the back ward and is mistaken for a dinosaur, she begins to question the behavioural approach. Instead, she becomes spellbound by the poetry and pain behind her patients' bizarre stories. Her account of life on Ward 9-2-D and in the clinic is a haunting portrait of a community apart and an exploration of the ways terribly isolated human beings struggle to find meaning in their lives. Uncovering cunning truths in her patients' fantasies, this book demonstrates how their stories are inextricably linked to us all.
