Loving a Brother with Schizophrenia with Isa Mattei

Aired On: November 14, 2012

This episode of Safe Space Radio features therapist Isa Mattei talking about her relationship with her brother, Artie, who had schizophrenia. She describes her mother’s fierce determination not to have Artie institutionalized, which kept him integrated in the family and also sometimes subjected his siblings to chaotic and often frightening interactions—yet Isa felt very seen and supported by her brother. She discusses stereotypes of schizophrenia and how little they have to do with her experience of her brother.
