Kaysen writes of her experiences, augmented by pages from her medical record, in a psychiatric hospital and of the social and emotional assumptions that divide people into deviant or normal.
From the Publisher: The Camera My Mother Gave Me takes us through Susanna Kaysen's often comic, sometimes surreal encounters with all kinds of doctors-internists, gynecologists, "alternative health" experts-as well as with her boyfriend and her friends, when suddenly, inexplicably, "something went wrong" with her vagina.
