520 "Don and Mimi Galvin seemed to be living the American
dream. After World War II, Don's work with the Air Force
brought them to Colorado, where their twelve children
perfectly spanned the baby boom: the oldest born in 1945,
the youngest in 1965. In those years, there was an
established script for a family like the Galvins--
aspiration, hard work, upward mobility, domestic harmony--
and they worked hard to play their parts. But behind the
scenes was a different story: psychological breakdown,
sudden shocking violence, hidden abuse. By the mid-1970s,
six of the ten Galvin boys, one after the other, were
diagnosed as schizophrenic. How could all this happen to
one family? What took place inside the house on Hidden
Valley Road was so extraordinary that the Galvins became
one of the first families to be studied by the National
Institutes of Mental Health. Their story offers a shadow
history of the science of schizophrenia, from the era of
institutionalization, lobotomy, and the schizophrenogenic
mother, to the search for genetic markers for the disease,
always amidst profound disagreements about the nature of
the illness itself. And unbeknownst to the Galvins,
samples of their DNA informed decades of genetic research
that continues today, offering paths to treatment,
prediction, and even eradication of the disease for future
generations. With clarity and compassion, bestselling and
award-winning author Robert Kolker uncovers one family's
unforgettable legacy of suffering, love and hope"--
