Louis Arnorsson Sass

In this brilliant work, a clinical psychologist offers a startling new vision of schizophrenia, comparing it with the works of modern writers such as Kafka and philosophers such as Nietzsche. "Refreshingly different from customary writings on mental illness . . . highly original and profoundly disquieting insights".--New York Times Book Review.

Insanity in the Light of Modern Art, Literature, and Thought

Madness and Modernism

Wittgenstein, Schreber, and the Schizophrenic Mind

The Paradoxes of Delusion

Schizophrenia, Sass demonstrates, is not the loss of rationality, but the far point in the trajectory of a consciousness turned in upon itself. The Paradoxes of Delusion will be necessary reading for anyone concerned with the preoccupations of modern philosophy and the realities of mental illness.
