What is Madness? is an in-depth study by Darian Leader on madness, healthy psychology, and everything in between. What separates the sane from the insane? How difficult or easy is it to distinguish them? And is the difference really between being insane and going insane?
In this important work, Darian Leader undermines common perceptions of madness. Through cases like the seemingly "normal" Harold Shipman, he shows that madness rarely conforms to standards. What is Madness? explores the idea of "quiet madness" - that many times we live internal lives far from a healthy mental state, but they allow us to function normally and without threat.
Leader argues that we need to find new ways to evaluate, treat, and engage with those suffering from mental illnesses. This radical and persuasive exploration is a painful, complex but endlessly fascinating piece of humanity.
Darian Leader is a psychoanalyst practicing in London, a member of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research and the College of Psychoanalysts - UK. He has authored several works, including The New Black, Strictly Bipolar, Why do women write more letters than they post?, Promises lovers make when it gets late, Freud’s Footnotes, and Stealing the Mona Lisa and is an Honorary Visiting Professor at the School of Human and Life Sciences at Roehampton University.
