The reader, while panting, moving between the pages of the book, cannot help but admire Dr. Jamieson, who decided in an honest moment to take off the masks, tear the veils, and go out in public to tell her terrible experience with a cruel disease called “manic-depressive psychosis: indifferent to the reputation that that revelation might bring on her.” Bad may cost her not only her academic and therapeutic work but people's respect for her, especially since her work is related to the treatment of anxious spirits and tormented souls.
