I struggle with how to review this when it's so compelling and emotional as a narrative, but the research and the framing is so shallow and driven by an agenda (and I mean that neutrally, not in “g-ddamn wokies again” way). Granata went through something unbearably traumatic and has come out the other side with a worldview that I find grating and poorly-thought-out, as someone with folks in my life who have been severely harmed by institutionalization.
Tread carefully if you have any ADAB-style takes about mental hospitals, as Granata is only sympathetic to them and not to the bodily autonomy of those with psychosis struggles.
