In this letter to the editor, Balon comments on a review done by Dr. Taff see SIEC #970674 of Kay Jamison’s book, “An Unquiet Mind: a Memoir of Moods and Madness”. Balon was surprised by Taff’s criticism of the book. He refutes Taff’s criticisms & points out that Jamison’s book is a memoir, not a textbook or ethics guideline. (2 refs.)
