Books like Crazy All the Time: On The Psych Ward of Bellevue Hospital

At first this book struck me as way too voyeuristic and "I'm the wise, sane, totally awesome dude running the show and of course I'm witty and everything goes well due to my great supervising." The book covers a year in the life of interns at Bellevue hospital as told by the chief psychologist. Apparently the "characters" are composites so their identities can't be easily traced, but it was hard to tell, especially this being a book published before HIPAA. I like reading books about mental illness because they help me put that aspect of my life into context. I don't like it when books focus on or exaggerate the most severe manifestations of mental illness just for show. It seemed like this book was doing that for the first few chapters, but it improved over time. I understand you gotta sell books, but mental patients are indeed human beings and deserve to be treated with respect instead of some kind of side show. Anyway, the book got better even though the author comes across as an over privileged, paternalistic douche at times.
