“The Lives They Left Behind is a deeply moving testament to the human side of mental illness, and of the narrow margin which so often separates the sane from the mad. It is a remarkable portrait, too, of the life of a psychiatric asylum—the sort of community in which, for better and for worse, hundreds of thousands of people lived out their lives. Darby Penney and Peter Stastny’s careful historical (almost archaeological) and biographical reconstructions give us unique insight into these lives which would otherwise be lost and, indeed, unimaginable to the rest of us.” —Oliver Sacks“Fascinating. . . . The haunting thing about the suitcase owners is that it’s so easy to identify with them.” —NewsweekWhen Willard State Hospital closed its doors in 1995, after operating as one of New York State’s largest mental institutions for over 120 years, a forgotten attic filled with suitcases belonging to former patients was discovered. Using the possessions found in these suitcases along with institutional records and doctors’ notes from patient sessions, Darby Penney, a leading advocate of patients’ rights, and Peter Stastny, a psychiatrist and documentary filmmaker, were able to reconstruct the lives of ten patients who resided at Willard during the first half of the twentieth century. The Lives They Left Behind tells their story. In addition to these human portraits, the book contains over 100 photographs as well as valuable historical background on how this state-funded institution operated. As it restores the humanity of the individuals it so poignantly evokes, The Lives They Left Behind reveals the vast historical inadequacies of a psychiatric system that has yet to heal itself.

I have the Audible version and regret buying it. The content is fine, but the voiceover artist they used is AWFUL. His delivery is very flat, stilted, and boring. It's hard to believe they hired him. The only other time I've heard a voiceover this bad was when I listened to a book that was voiced by the author who very clearly was not a professional voiceover artist. His voice is so deep that it almost gives me unpleasant shivers down my back. There may be a place for that in the voiceover business, but this book isn't it. He also pronounces some words very oddly and his entire delivery is just unnatural. It's so distracting that it's hard to pay attention to the book itself. Really too bad.
