Book excerpt: “A haunting and harrowing indictment . . . [a] significant achievement.” —The New York Times Book Review L.A. Times Book Prize Finalist * New York Times Book Review Paperback Row * Time Best New Books July 2020 Waiting for an Echo is a riveting, rarely seen glimpse into American jails and prisons. It is also a damning account of policies that have criminalized mental illness, shifting large numbers of people who belong in therapeutic settings into punitive ones. Dr. Christine Montross has spent her career treating the most severely ill psychiatric patients. This expertise—the mind in crisis—has enabled her to reckon with the human stories behind mass incarceration. A father attempting to weigh the impossible calculus of a plea bargain. A bright young woman whose life is derailed by addiction. Boys in a juvenile detention facility who, desperate for human connection, invent a way to communicate with one another from cell to cell. Overextended doctors and correctional officers who strive to provide care and security in environments riddled with danger. Our methods of incarceration take away not only freedom but also selfhood and soundness of mind. In a nation where 95 percent of all inmates are released from prison and return to our communities, this is a practice that punishes us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As this bestseller predicted, Trump has only grown more erratic and dangerous as the pressures on him mount. This new edition includes new essays bringing the book up to date—because this is still not normal. Originally released in fall 2017, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump was a runaway bestseller. Alarmed Americans and international onlookers wanted to know: What is wrong with him? That question still plagues us. The Trump administration has proven as chaotic and destructive as its opponents feared, and the man at the center of it all remains a cipher. Constrained by the APA’s “Goldwater rule,” which inhibits mental health professionals from diagnosing public figures they have not personally examined, many of those qualified to weigh in on the issue have shied away from discussing it at all. The public has thus been left to wonder whether he is mad, bad, or both. The prestigious mental health experts who have contributed to the revised and updated version of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump argue that their moral and civic "duty to warn" supersedes professional neutrality. Whatever affects him, affects the nation: From the trauma people have experienced under the Trump administration to the cult-like characteristics of his followers, he has created unprecedented mental health consequences across our nation and beyond. With eight new essays (about one hundred pages of new material), this edition will cover the dangerous ramifications of Trump's unnatural state. It’s not all in our heads. It’s in his.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • ONE OF GQ's TOP 50 BOOKS OF LITERARY JOURNALISM IN THE 21st CENTURY • The heartrending story of a midcentury American family with twelve children, six of them diagnosed with schizophrenia, that became science's great hope in the quest to understand the disease. "Reads like a medical detective journey and sheds light on a topic so many of us face: mental illness." —Oprah Winfrey 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 another, 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 Institute 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 amid 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.

Book excerpt: “A blistering and truly original work of reporting and analysis, uncovering America’s role in homogenizing how the world defines wellness and healing” (Po Bronson). In Crazy Like Us, Ethan Watters reveals that the most devastating consequence of the spread of American culture has not been our golden arches or our bomb craters but our bulldozing of the human psyche itself: We are in the process of homogenizing the way the world goes mad. It is well known that American culture is a dominant force at home and abroad; our exportation of everything from movies to junk food is a well-documented phenomenon. But is it possible America's most troubling impact on the globalizing world has yet to be accounted for? American-style depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anorexia have begun to spread around the world like contagions, and the virus is us. Traveling from Hong Kong to Sri Lanka to Zanzibar to Japan, acclaimed journalist Ethan Watters witnesses firsthand how Western healers often steamroll indigenous expressions of mental health and madness and replace them with our own. In teaching the rest of the world to think like us, we have been homogenizing the way the world goes mad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ''YOU DON'T GET WET BECAUSE IT'S RAINING, YOU GET WET BECAUSE YOU DON'T USE AN UMBRELLA.''I'm Dilek. I'm the volunteer editor of the book. I have witnessed some of the writer's struggle as the ideas emerged. I witnessed that the book you hold is not an ordinary book, and I want you to be a witness, too. In the introductory text, I chose to say something about the author rather than the book. The book will introduce itself to you when you read it.Izzet Güllü is a psychologist who works in state hospitals in the province of Malatya in eastern Turkey. Not everyone knows him in his country yet. Maybe he will be known around the world, before he is recognized in his country. Even though he has no such concerns, he deserves this. He's a good-hearted, courageous man besides being a psychologist and writer. For years, he has been struggling with the structural mistakes in his sector and advocating contemporary, democratic and universal values in his country, in which almost all of the population consists of Muslims. He has quite bright ideas, with original detections related to many areas.Years ago, as an experienced psychologist at the hospital where he works, he discovers a new approach to his field's problems. He sees that this psychology model, which he has shaped around the idea "You get wet because you don't use umbrellas not because it's raining heavily." Not to become famous and rich by establishing a center right away; He prefers to explain this technique with all the technical details by making more than 300 videos and to offer them to the benefit of a wider audience. Thus, thousands of people in their homes could get rid of their problems. In a short time, in the eyes of thousands of people, he becomes an angel of goodness and a hero. He does not settle down with that, of course. First, he established a publishing house with limited facilities. For this book to be published, the publishing house is active for months through his own means. He doesn't want his book to be published from any publishing house just like an ordinary work and only benefit people in his country. Then he provides the translation of the book through his own means. Thus, he presents his approach to the benefit of humanity of the whole world and presents it to all humanity. He brings brand-new perspectives to psychological processes such as anxiety, fear, anxiety, distress, emotion, feelings etc. This breaks the built-in subconsciously learned false perceptions.He does not decipher the great "mental illness" lie and others, and does not convince people that they are not sick. He introduces people to the healing power of the belief that "I am not sick" in their homes. It provides home self-treatment for problems such as panic attacks, obsession, anxiety and depression, and also provides a very effective opportunity for mental vaccination to people who want to protect themselves and their loved ones against such problems. This text is my introductory text as a volunteer editor of the book. I don't know how much I could put out of what I have been thinking. Perhaps by reading this work, you want to know both the content and the author yourself. I believe this will be much more accurate.
