Summary:

"The biopsycholiterary joint partnership between a professor of literature (Elena Ciobanu) and a clinical psychiatrist (Bogdan C.S. Pîrvu) was meant to diagnose the condition of a poet (Sylvia Plath) who, with a comorbid borderline personality disorder, had a bipolar II disorder that drove her to commit suicide. In equally specific, because technical, terms, the biopsychosocial approach extrapolated from narrative medicine was made to come complete mostly with strategies borrowed from literary phenomenology and designed to explore the Artistic Personality on its own premises, and occasionally with psychotherapeutic tools that are conveniently adept at dealing with mental disorders and family relationships. In mundane terms, this book is not a biography proper; it is an open-minded account of the intricate entanglements of poetry, personality and mood, perceptively and cautiously intent on behavioral, affective and cognitive changes, on the impact any such fluctuations might have had on the art of Sylvia Plath"-- Provided by publisher.
