Unlike most scholars who study mental illness, 
Hornstein has always been as interested in 
patients' experiences as in doctors' theories. 
She has compiled a bibliography of first-person 
narratives of madness, which lists more than 600 
titles, and, in a recent article in the Chronicle 
of Higher Education, claimed that "patient 
memoirs are a kind of protest literature, like 
slave narratives or witness testimonies." Her 
current research focuses on the contributions 
that patients­past and present­have made to our understanding of psychology.
