The Schizophrenic Dialogues are a collection of memoirs on the first-hand experience of schizophrenia told through the lens of the actual dialogue between a person with schizophrenia and her auditory, visual, and tactile hallucinations. These accounts and their accompanying commentary represent the reality of people with schizophrenia in society and within themselves. The Dialogues shed light on the lives built to harness a stigmatized condition as a positive, and live in defiance of a "grave" prognosis.
