註釋Lady With a Lantern is an eye-opener for anyone who was neither patient nor staff in “the big mental” hospital. Kay Parley was both and she can light the way.

The author uses journal, narrative and short story to convey a range of emotion from despair and violence to hope and fun. She provides an understanding of the variety of creative therapies used when the Saskatchewan Hospital at Weyburn was named the most improved mental hospital in North America.

There will be times you’ll feel lucky you weren’t there and there will be times you’ll wish you were. You get a clear sense that the hallmark of psychiatry is the unpredictable.

Kay Parley has written an entertaining and valuable piece of Saskatchewan history which has too often been neglected and misunderstood.
