Closing the distance between \"us\" and \"them\", Slater transports the reader into a country where patients are suffering from schizophrenia and depression. As the young psychologist responds to, reflects on, and re-creates her interactions with the dispossessed, she offers a deeper understanding of the complexities of the human mind and spirit. And then, in a stunning final chapter, the psychologist confronts herself, when she is asked to treat a young woman, bulimic and suicidal, who is on the same ward where Slater herself was once such a patient.\u003cp\u003eLike An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison, Listening to Prozac by Peter Kramer, and Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen, Welcome to My Country is a beautifully written, captivating, and revealing book, an unusual personal and professional memoir that brings readers closer to understanding themselves, one another, and the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Welcome to My Country | Lauren Slater | Hardcover | 9780679447856 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1768962","offer_id":49517787676824,"sku":"1768962","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81hdffV2OkL.jpg?v=1784618565","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/welcome-to-my-country","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
