Overview

The Sanity Trap: When Insight Looks Like Illness by Valerie Knox What if the very traits that define awareness-intelligence, empathy, perception-are the same ones society mistakes for instability? The Sanity Trap examines how systems built on conformity turn insight into evidence of illness. From history's reformers and whistleblowers to modern patients and professionals, Valerie Knox traces a recurring pattern: those who see too clearly are often punished for it. Drawing from psychology, philosophy, and historical records, this book reveals how institutions preserve control by pathologizing dissent and reframing clarity as disorder. It asks a vital question: When truth itself becomes threatening, who decides what sanity means? A groundbreaking exploration of perception, power, and human rights, The Sanity Trap challenges readers to rethink what it means to be ""well"" in a world that fears awareness. Perfect for readers of: - Erving Goffman's Asylums - R.D. Laing's The Divided Self - Michel Foucault's Madness and Civilization - Joanna Moncrieff's The Myth of the Chemical Cure
