Mira Bartók

A new study published this week in the American Journal of Psychiatry concludes that less medication and more talk therapy is, in fact, a better method of treatment for schizophrenics.

Mira Bartók discusses her complicated and difficult relationship with her mentally ill mother. Her memoir The Memory Palace tells the story of her schizophrenic mother’s descent into madness, the rift it caused in her family, and her and her sister’s eventual reconciliation with her mother.
