Kay Redfield Jamison: Nothing Was the Same
October 1, 2009
Kay Redfield Jamison professor, psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University

Johns Hopkins professor of psychiatry Kay Redfield Jamison discusses her new memoir, Nothing Was the Same. Jamison's first memoir, An Unquiet Mind, touchingly told the story of her struggle with mental illness. This new book brings the same mix of writerly style and psychological insight to the agonizing experience of losing her husband to cancer.
