"Robert Kolker tells the true story of the Galvin family. They had 12 children, and six of their 10 boys were diagnosed with schizophrenia in the 1960s and 1970s, when far less was known about the disease. From the problems with institutions and ineffective treatments to the family’s work with researchers who wanted to study them, it’s a sobering look at the lives the brothers lived and the way the family as a whole was changed."
