Delivered Unto Lions
David Austin
Daniel Kinsley is a child growing up in the 1970s. Suffering with depression he is admitted to Oakdale Children's Unit. Once a relatively ordinary schoolboy, he is now a mental patient surrounded by a cacophony of violent behaviour, eating disorders and self-harm. He cannot comprehend the world he has entered, a world made worse by unsympathetic nursing staff, the controlling use of psychoactive drugs, and the aggression of older children. How will he navigate his way through this experience? Can he ever reclaim his place in the outside world of normality?
Based on personal experience, Delivered Unto Lions is a subjective but faithful representation of children's psychiatric care in 1970s Britain.
