Girl, Interrupted
''Girl, Interrupted'' is a best-selling〔(The Unconfessional Confessionalist ), Time Magazine, July 11, 1994〕 1993 memoir by American author Susanna Kaysen, relating her experiences as a young woman in a psychiatric hospital in the 1960s after being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

While writing the novel ''Far Afield'', Kaysen began to recall her almost two years at McLean Hospital.〔(A teenager's interrupted life ), Knight Ridder Newspapers, December 1, 1993〕 She obtained her file from the hospital with the help of a lawyer.〔(Girl, interrupted.(Reel Life) ) Clinical Psychiatry News, August 1, 2003〕
In 1999, the memoir was adapted into a film of the same name starring Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. It was directed by James Mangold.
==Plot introduction==
The plot of ''Girl, Interrupted'' does not follow a linear storyline, but instead the author provides personal stories through a series of short descriptions of events and personal reflections on why she was placed in the hospital. She begins by talking about the concept of a parallel universe and how easy it is to slip into one, comparing insanity to an alternate world. She discusses how some people fall into insanity gradually and others just snap. Kaysen also details the doctor's visit before first going to the hospital and the taxi ride there at the beginning of the book before launching into the chronicles of her time at the hospital.
