Girl, Interrupted: A Memoir is Susanna Kaysen’s account of her confinement at McLean Hospital, a private psychiatric institution in Massachusetts, after she was admitted as an eighteen-year-old in 1967. Published in 1993, the book combines memoir, psychological reflection, social critique, and documentary fragments drawn from Kaysen’s medical records. Its central subject is not only the author’s diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, but also the institutional world that shaped how that diagnosis was interpreted, treated, and remembered. Kaysen writes in short, sharply observed sections rather than a continuous therapeutic narrative, allowing the book to move between personal memory, portraits of fellow patients, and questions about psychiatric authority. The result is a compact but unsettling work about adolescence, mental illness, gender, and the fragile boundary between care and confinement. It remains distinctive because it resists simple recovery storytelling and instead examines how identity can be altered by both suffering and classification.
