Suffering Insanity is arranged as three essays. The first concerns staff stress

in psychiatric services, exploring how the impact of madness demands a personal

resilience as well as careful professional support, which may not be

forthcoming. The second essay attempts a systematic review of the nature of

psychosis and the intolerable psychotic experience, which the patient attempts

to evade, and which the carer must confront in the course of daily work. The

third essay returns to the impact of psychosis on the psychiatric services,

which frequently configure in ways which can have serious and harmful effects on

the provision of care. Inparticular, service may succumb to an unfortunate

schismatic process resulting in sterile conflict, and to an assertively

scientific culture, which leads to an unwitting depersonalization of patients.
