"Rites of Passage: My Schizophrenic Youth in Mosaic is a fascinating and insightful autobiographical account of Jason Ratcliff's experience and struggles with psychosis. Self-reflective, philosophical, extremely honest, and, at times, heartbreaking, this book is a valuable contribution to the field of human psychology. It should be required reading in every introductory psychopathology class."

In this memoir of schizophrenia, Jason Stuart Ratcliff describes his struggle to manhood through the firestorm of schizophrenic psychosis, his journey through and often abusive mental health system, and his ideas of the necessity of "mental illness pride" in a society that socially excludes the psychotic person. Readers will continually have to remind themselves that this is not a novel but a true story.
