Summary/Abstract: As well as being a person who has defied most people’s pessimistic expectations about the likely course of her adult life, Arnhild Lauveng is also the author of a book that challenges any easy or handy review profiling. To say that she has re-ceived the Norwegian Fritt Ord (Free Speech) Honorary Award in 2008 would be only one way of introducing her work. Indeed, mentioning this kind of acknowl-edgement would speak for the sincerity and honesty that pervade her presentation not only of a painful personal experience, but also of systems and institutions that cannot cope with people who need much more support to deal with similar challenges.
