The myth of normal
Gabor Maté
b. 1944
A physician who named the culture that trades authenticity for attachment and calls the wound health.
The Myth of Normal.
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts.
When the Body Says No.
A physician who would not let the culture off the hook: we trade the authentic for the attached, and then name the leftover wound as health.
The body keeps that bargain until it cannot.
