The Harrowed Path

The Harrowed Path describes the experience in 1972 of a 21 year old man struggling to come to terms with experiences diagnosed as Schizophrenia. It is a vivid and compelling account of events both within and out-with his fractured consciousness. The story describes the breakdown of all his normal ability and perception and their replacement with a terrifying, debilitating and self-destructive inner world. It depicts his extraordinary struggle and many lost battles. It describes the various types of help offered, both medical and non-medical. Finally it outlines the experience of his healing. All this takes place within the vivid landscapes of London, Gloucestershire and Hampshire.
