Something's Wrong with the Galvins. A Perfect Family Destroyed by Madness
14.99 €
The Galvins seemed like a model American family. Their father was in the military, their mother a homemaker, both actively involved in the social and civic life of their state and country. Their twelve children—ten boys and two girls—were the pride of the family, talented and showing great promise. Suddenly, the eldest son, a successful university student, was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Over the next few years, five more Galvin sons were diagnosed with this serious illness. Then hell broke loose: it turned out that behind the perfect façade lay a far from ideal life: physical and sexual abuse, mistreatment, drug use—but their parents, Don and Mimi, turned a blind eye to it until the very end. All this inevitably led to tragic consequences and the disunity of the family members. For decades, scientists, psychiatrists, and geneticists have been struggling to solve the mystery of the Galvin family, putting forward a variety of hypotheses. But will they be able to find an answer and give hope to millions of people?
