Critique of “The Quiet Room” by L. Schiller and A. Bennett
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page critique of “The Quiet Room” by L. Schiller and A. Bennett. The 1994 book “The Quiet Room: A Journey Out of the Torment of Madness” by Lori Schiller and Amanda Bennett, tells the story of Schiller’s struggle with the illness, treatment and lifestyle of a schizophrenic. The book is important in many aspects as horrific as the tales may appear, they are typical of experiences of schizophrenics: from the onset of the symptoms of the illness; to the realization and acceptance of the illness; to the maze of the health care system; and to (hopefully) successful treatment of the illness. The book has been adopted by the mental health care community as a realistic and candid report on the mental turmoil and institutional nightmares schizophrenics must endure while going through the steps from diagnosis through treatment. The book also provides useful insight and hope to families of schizophrenics which are emphasized in the support of Schiller’s family. Finally the book provides hope and inspiration to schizophrenics as well who are able to read Schiller’s own documentation of her road to recovery and the productive lifestyle she leads today.
