Muses, Madmen, and Prophets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muses, Madmen, and Prophets is an American-published non-fiction book (from Penguin), whose British edition (from Methuen) is Hearing Voices. (In both countries, the book is subtitled Rethinking the History, Science, and Meaning of Auditory Hallucination.) The author, Daniel B. Smith, draws on both his experience as the member of a family where the father concealed, for decades, his experiencing of such hallucinations, and on more detached research.
