The Pharmacology of Silence

A memoir of my experience of being misdiagnosed as mentally ill and locked inside a maximum security prison in Sydney's west, later to be apologised to by a judge and acquitted of all charges. This book is a reflection on the human condition, the nature of truth, and the power of silence.
