All in the mind, a novel by Alastair Campbell
Martin Sturrock desperately needs a psychiatrist. The problem? He is
one. Emily is a traumatised burns victim and Arta, a Kosovan refugee
recovering from a rape. Very different Londoners, but they share one
thing: every week they spend an hour at the Prince Regent hospital,
revealing the secrets of their psyche to Professor Martin Sturrock.
"...finished reading this book late at night - couldn't wait to find out how things turned out. I am not afraid to admit that I was blubbing by the end... A very honest and powerful account of mental illness" -

About Alastair Cambell
In his time in Downing Street he was involved in all the major policy issues and international crises. He has said that in ten years in the media, and a decade in politics, he saw his respect for the media fall and his respect for politics rise.
In July 2007, he published his first book on his time with Tony Blair, The Blair Years, extracts from his diaries from 1994 to 2003, which was an instant Sunday Times Number 1 bestseller. His first novel, All In The Mind, appeared in November 2008, to enthusiastic reviews for its frank examination of mental illness. His second novel Maya, a gripping analysis of fame and the obsession it attracts, was published in February 2010. It was described by Piers Morgan as 'a superb read ... sometimes disturbing, always fascinating.'
In October 2008 Alastair Campbell broadcast a one hour documentary on BBC2 about his own breakdown in 1986. Both the film, Cracking Up, and All In The Mind, won considerable praise from mental health charities and campaign groups for helping to break down the taboo surrounding mental health. He received the Mind Champion of the Year award in May 2009 in recognition of his work to break down the stigma around mental illness, and continues to campaign on the issue.
