Worlds of Psychotic People brings a fresh twenty-first century voice to the lives of those with serious psychological disorders, focusing on the manner in which psychiatric patients experience their subjective worlds. Based on ethnographic research gathered at the psychiatric hospital of Saint Anthony's in the Netherlands over a period of five years, it seeks to describe from the perspective of the mental patient some of the fears and hopes that mark an individual's encounter with the fixed reality-structures of a clinical mental ward.

« Le seuil de l'atelier à peine franchi, la belle Iseult presse le pas, file vers son chevalet. Là, avide, elle force les tubes, les écrase, les oblige à vomir leurs ventres… Une fois cela, goulument, elle plonge le pinceau dans la pâte, contraint les couleurs à se dire, gave la brosse de matière épaisse, l'emmène d'une glissade jusqu'aux rivages de la toile et… délicatement, pose la touche. L'huile se fait d'argan, tisse la peau, devient sang et chair. Peindre est affaire de peau. Peindre est histoire de corps et visages… La toile se fait miroir, reflet de soi. La toile devient lieu de retrouvailles avec cet autre, semblable et différent… Cet autre qui nomme et dit la place en humanité. Iseult peint, se peint, nous peint… Hommes parmi les Hommes. » Les images sont des portraits au crayon de femmes et d'hommes rencontrés à l'hôpital psychiatrique. Les histoires disent de minuscules éclats de vivre, de petits riens. Elles racontent les détails de la vie, les petits endroits où se niche le cœur de notre être. Les fous sont nos frères, nos sœurs, nos pères, nos mères, ils sont parts de nous-mêmes… Ce recueil vient dire aussi les talents et les faiblesses de ceux qui en prennent soin.

Once upon a time in Jamaica a young woman went somewhere that no one had visited for years.It may have been nestled in a valley between the Stone Hill mountains of St Catherine, four rocking chairs on a veranda surveying a garden full of bougainvillea and vegetables.Or perhaps it was merely a pastel-coloured house on an ordinary street in Spanish Town.One thing everyone agrees on: this is the place that Adamine Bustamante was born.When Adamine grows up she discovers she has the gift of 'warning': the power to both protect and terrify. But no one tells her that in England her prophecies of hurricanes and earthquakes will meet with a different kind of fear.Now Adamine wants to tell her story.But she must wrestle for the truth with 'Mr Writer Man', for he is taking her words and twisting them...
