To add: If you can find this book it's... hardcore. It's of debatable providence and is far older than Amazon would lead you to believe; "Lara Jefferson" is a pseudonym for someone who has never revealed their true identity and "These are my Sisters" is basically a diary kept by a woman in an insane asylum during and shortly after WWII, the period that was effectively the nadir of mental health treatment. There's no way to verify that any of it happened but from what I know of the treatment of mental illness during the period (parts of maybe six books) it's truthy. Whoever wrote it may not have been in an asylum but they at least worked there.
