Title: Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family
Author: Robert Kolker
*************************************************************
Book Descriptions: The heartrending story of a midcentury
American family with twelve children, six of them diagnosed with
schizophrenia, that became science's great hope in the quest to
understand the disease.Don and Mimi Galvin seemed to be living
the American dream. After World War II, Don's work with the Air
Force brought them to Colorado, where their twelve children
perfectly spanned the baby boom: the oldest born in 1945, the
youngest in 1965. In those years, there was an established
script for a family like the Galvins--aspiration, hard work,
upward mobility, domestic harmony--and they worked hard to play
their parts. But behind the scenes was a different story:
psychological breakdown, sudden shocking violence, hidden abuse.
By the mid-1970s, six of the ten Galvin boys, one after another,
were diagnosed as schizophrenic. How could all this happen to
one family? What took place inside the house on Hidden Valley
Road was so extraordinary that the Galvins became one of the
first families to be studied by the National Institute of Mental
Health. Their story offers a shadow history of the science of
schizophrenia, from the era of institutionalization, lobotomy,
and the schizophrenogenic mother to the search for genetic
markers for the disease, always amid profound disagreements
about the nature of the illness itself. And unbeknownst to the
Galvins, samples of their DNA informed decades of genetic
research that continues today, offering paths to treatment,
prediction, and even eradication of the disease for future
generations. With clarity and compassion, bestselling and
award-winning author Robert Kolker uncovers one family's
unforgettable legacy of suffering, love, and hope.
