Madness and Modernism
Book • 2017
Louis Sass's "Madness and Modernism" explores the surprising parallels between the experiences of individuals with schizophrenia and the themes and styles found in modern art and literature.
Sass argues that many modernist works reflect a fragmented and distorted perception of reality, similar to the experiences of schizophrenic patients.
The book examines the works of various artists and writers, demonstrating how their creative expressions mirror the altered states of consciousness associated with schizophrenia.
Sass's work challenges traditional views of mental illness and art, suggesting a deeper connection between creativity and altered states of mind.
The book is a significant contribution to the fields of psychology, art history, and literary criticism.
