MARBELS by Ellen Fornay

An excellent bibliotherapy recource, beautifully rendered gingerly, with candid finesse and WGAF modesty. She loves herself because she can laugh at her self through her words; more than that, in the art that comes from a journaling experience as part of her rehab. Just the simple fact that she's talking about a subject with a stigma attached at the hip, and what, in the not too distant past might have resulted in being locked in a looney bin. We know so little about the working of the brain. And a few hundred years ago might have seen our antagonist toasted as a witch

Fortunately, Ellen Fornay had a good support group--she is an artist and her supportive mother is an MD --so she had lots of help in finding a satisfactory therapy. And she made it work for her. Good sales. Good press. Spreading the word.
