Books
A woman habitually commits self-injury, a new mother has incessant visions of harming her child, a recent uni graduate, dressed in a tunic, declares that love emanates from everything around him. These are among the patients new consultant physician Christine Montross meets during rounds at her hospital's locked inpatient ward - and whom we meet as she struggles to understand the mysteries of the mind, most especially when the tools of modern medicine are failing us.
