Dante's Cure is the true story of a young woman's complete recovery from schizophrenia, without the use of drugs. It is a story of courage and hope. It reveals how madness is inherent to the human condition and therefore ought to be treated as such. To restore patients' trust in their power to recover, rather than robbing them of their agency in the name of medical knowledge, is the true moral of this remarkable journey out of the madness.

Daniel Dorman was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, the United States.
Daniel Dorman attended Indiana University for his undergraduate degree and received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Indiana University School of Medicine in 1961. His postgraduate education includes an internship at Georgetown University Division of District of Columbia General Hospital and a National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellowship in neurophysiology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. He entered residency training in psychiatry at the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine, graduating in 1972. He also is a graduate of the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Institute.
Daniel Dorman has a long career. He worked and borrowed to support himself all through his medical school and postgraduate years. He practiced family medicine in Huntington Beach, California from 1963 to 1969 to pay off the debt. He then studied at the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine and the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Institute. Dorman is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine, and has been practicing and teaching psychotherapy for over forty years. Dr. Dorman's personal interests center around making art. He is an accomplished portraitist, working in charcoal, and colored pencils and chalks. He lives in Los Angeles.
Daniel Dorman, whose background is in family medicine, psychoanalysis, and neurophysiology, has written Dante's Cure: A Journey out of Madness, a book documenting one of his most successful cases, which began in the 1970s. Dorman was a young doctor when he first met Catherine Penney, a nineteen-year-old woman suffering from schizophrenia. With a family background in depression and alcoholism, she was first hospitalized at age seventeen, when she heard voices that suggested she commit suicide and murder. She was prescribed tranquilizers and released, but she developed a tolerance for the drugs, and the voices returned. Becoming anorexic, she weighed only eighty-five pounds when Dorman first met her.
Dorman was convinced that Penney's condition was the result of her family history rather than a chemical imbalance, and he chose to treat her without using medications. He was encouraged because she kept her daily appointments with him and spoke openly. The voices stopped, she gained weight, and after seven years of therapy, she was able to rejoin society. Penney returned to college, became a psychiatric technician, and then a registered nurse. She worked in psychiatric units where she adopted Dorman's policy on medications. A Kirkus Reviews contributor noted that Penny's “refusal as a psychiatric nurse to administer drugs to mental patients has entangled her in job disputes, which Dorman chronicles with relish." A Publishers Weekly reviewer wrote that Dorman's “advocacy of a humanist approach that emphasizes patient-doctor collaboration and the growth of soul will be welcomed by all those who value the psychotherapeutic tradition."
