SHAME

Helene Flood Aakvaag

A book about feeling shame, why it arises and what it does to usShame might make you feel uneasy, but keep in mind that shame is a universal state of mind, a natural part of being human. It is a positively useful feeling and it has been evolving over thousands of years, precisely because we have been able to make good use of it. Everyone has experienced it. Shame is often reviled and the public discussion tends to focus on how to get rid of shame or to overcome it. Some people argue that shame is a symptom of mental illness, which might sometimes be true. But just as we don’t want to reject fear from our range of feelings, even though it can be deeply troubling, so we should accept that shame has its good side. A very readable book explaining shame in terms of popular psychology: the writing is witty but founded on good research, with many examples of well-known as well as personal cases. ‘Aakvaag aims for a wide audience. She uses the experience of herself and others to illustrate academic points, and her voice is factual, warm and mildly humoristic. In this way the succeeds with writing the type of scientific but still easily read prose that the Americans do so well, but that we also lately have been seeing more of in Norway. Shaming is dangerously effective. And because of that a subject that anyone who is interested in social issues should know something about. This well written introduction by Aakvaag is a good place to start.’ KLASSEKAMPEN

The Immune mystery

Jørgen Jelstad / Anita Kåss

This is the story of a young researcher who thought outside the box, and about the immune system's unsolved conundrum autoimmunity. On the day of her mother's funeral, 13-year-old Anita Kåss took an encyclopedia down from the bookshelf and for the first time read about arthritis. She wanted an answer to the question Did Mom get sick because I was born? and decided to find out everything about arthritis, and to find a treatment. It was the beginning of her life as a researcher. When she was 20 years old, she began to study medicine. 15 years later, her research lead to a possible hormonal breakthrough, and pharmaceutical companies fought over the rights to this new treatment. It resulted in the biggest licensing agreement in the Norwegian medical history. Her quest towards more knowledge of autoimmune diseases forms the framework for a popular-science journey, hunting for the solution to a mystery no one has managed to solve yet: the mystery of autoimmunity.FULL ENGLISH TRANSLATION AVAILABLE.

Anorectic

Ingeborg Senneset

An honest, unflinching and unsentimental account of the illness from the inside.How does a patient with anorexia and obsessive-compulsive disorder experience psychiatry? What kind of battles are fought inside a person that wants to end an illness that since childhood has acted as a lifeline and the same time been a lethal threat? What does it take to let go? How much does weight really matter? Through admissions to three different psychiatric facilities for a total of three years, Ingeborg Senneset documented the slow task of regaining control over her own life. Through meetings with the best and the worst sides of health care, paradoxes and conflicts both on an interpersonal and private level, we get the whole story. Anorectic is an honest, ruthless and unsentimental depiction of the inside of the illness and the hospitals by an author that has the unique combination of being a patient, journalist and nurse. "It is not a matter of writing less about eating disorders, as some people has suggested, but simply about writing better. The hard topics should be brought into the light, with all it´s complexity. Writing better means staying away from idealising and romanticising eating disorders, and rather bring out the dry, boring and dangerous facts in a precise way and using a clear language. This book i guaranteed to be free of romanticising."Finn Skårderud, Psychiatrist, professor and writer. "Heartbreakingly insightful, mercilessly self-exposing and brilliantly written about suffering from anorexia. (...) All together a useful book in the treatment of all sorts of compulsive disorders. Ingeborg Senneset is ruthlessly self biographical. Some parts are tragically funny, others will make you cry blood. Every word teaches us something. " Six stars out of six! ADRESSEAVISA "Ingeborg Sennesets dark howl from hell has despite all the pain and anxiety become a documentary that work like a guiding light for all those others. (...) Relatives, therapists and anyone who has ever wondered how this sickness is experienced. Anyone with the slightest fragment of empathy in them should read this book, to understand more about mental illness."AFTENPOSTEN"A merciless, unpleasant and intense story. Ingeborg Senneset writes in a way that makes us want to read. And hopefully there is something to learn."MEDIER24.NO
