Is there a URL for more information on this? Preventing psychosis sounds like a Good Thing.

I went to the Harper's Web site but did not find anything about this using Aviv as a search word. One Aviv article from 2009.

Added: OK, putting "psychosis" in the search found it, but of course you have to be a subscriber to see the article.

I trust that you are aware of the policies here regarding supportive posts.

I would also hope that as long as you are here, you might be willing to note the kindness, the generosity, the compassion, the encouragement that is practically a mainstay of the interactions people have here with one another in spite of whatever pain or woundedness they might be going through.

I do accept that you try to speak for a small segment of those considered to be "mentally ill" that have demonstrated violent behavior but this is not the norm here. If you categorize them without knowing them or their life experiences, it will hurt them. I ask that you be sensitive to that.

A blog just published that discusses Rachel Aviv's December essay in Harper's Magazine and links to the Harper's article

Blog title:

Thanks for this!
