Abstract
First-person accounts of psychiatric illness and treatment have long been part of the literature available to mental health professionals (1 ,2). Not withstanding Peter Kramer’s recent comments (3) that we are being overwhelmed by ‘ ‘autopathographers,” many clinicians and mesearchers remain unaware of much that is written by former and current sufferers of psychiatric disorders. This column brings to your attention 1 1 recent first-person accounts. They have been divided into accounts that focus on thought disorders, those portraying affective disorders, and those that fit in neithen of these two categories.
