Mary Barnes was a painter, writer, poet, nurse and a mental health campaigner. She died at the end of June at the age of 78.
She was also the subject of a famous psychiatric case-study by the late R D Laing - and of a play by David Edgar.
She co-wrote her first book Two Accounts of a Journey Through Madness with her psychotherapist Joseph Berke. In it they charted her descent into madness and her slow, painful climb back.
Her second book Something Sacred was co-written with Ann Scott.
When it was published Ann Scott, Dr Joseph Berke and Mary herself were guests on Woman's Hour and the programme is repeating the piece as a tribute to Mary's life and work.
Something Sacred (Free Association Books, 1989, ISBN: 1 85343 1001 X).
