520    A memoir of paranoid schizophrenia by an accomplished 
       professor recounts her first symptoms at the age of eight,
       her efforts to hide the severity of her condition, and the
       obstacles she has overcome in the course of her treatment 
       and marriage. 
520    Elyn Saks is a success by any measure: she's an endowed 
       professor at the prestigious University of Southern 
       California Gould School of Law. She has managed to achieve
       this in spite of being diagnosed as schizophrenic and 
       given a "grave" prognosis -- and suffering the effects of 
       her illness throughout her life. Saks was only eight, and 
       living an otherwise idyllic childhood in sunny 1960s Miami,
       when her first symptoms appeared in the form of obsessions
       and night terrors. But it was not until she reached Oxford
       University as a Marshall Scholar that her first full-blown
       episode, complete with voices in her head and terrifying 
       suicidal fantasies, forced her into a psychiatric 
       hospital. Saks would later attend Yale Law School where 
       one night, during her first term, she had a breakdown that
       left her singing on the roof of the law school library at 
       midnight. She was taken to the emergency room, force-fed 
       antipsychotic medication, and tied hand-and-foot to the 
       cold metal of a hospital bed. She spent the next five 
       months in a psychiatric ward. So began Saks's long war 
       with her own internal demons and the equally powerful 
       forces of stigma. Today she is a chaired professor of law 
       who researches and writes about the rights of the mentally
       ill. She is married to a wonderful man. In The Center 
       Cannot Hold, Elyn Saks discusses frankly and movingly the 
       paranoia, the inability to tell imaginary fears from real 
       ones, and the voices in her head insisting she do terrible
       things, as well as the many obstacles she overcame to 
       become the woman she is today.
