The Trauma Model: A Solution to the Problem of Comorbidity in Psychiatry : In The Trauma Model, Dr. Ross provides a detailed, scientifically testable method of mental illness. He defines the problem of comorbidity as the central conceptual problem in psychiatry at the beginning of the twenty-first century, then solves it using the logic and predictions of the trauma model. A person with extensive comorbidity suffers from many different psychiatric disorders at the same time including depression, substance abuse, anxiety and eating disorders, psychotic symptoms and personality disorders. Most individuals requiring inpatient psychiatric treatment fit the clinical profile of the trauma model. Dr. Ross also provides a detailed description of trauma therapy, which is suitable for a wide range of addictions, self-destructive behaviors and symptoms. General principles and specific techniques are described and illustrated with dialogue from composite case examples.

An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison, ISBN 0679763309 : As a founder of UCLA's Affective Disorder Clinic and a co-author of a standard medical text, Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison may be the foremost authority on manic-depressive illness. She is also one of its survivors. And it is this dual perspective -- as healer and healed -- that makes Jamison's memoir so lucid, learned, and profoundly affecting. Even as she was pursuing her psychiatric training, Jamison found herself succumbing to the exhilarating highs and paralyzing lows that afflicted many of her patients. Though the disorder brought her seemingly boundless energy and mercurial creativity, it also propelled her into spending sprees, episodes of violence, and an attempt at suicide. Powerfully candid, exceptionally wise, An Unquiet Mind is one of those rare books that has the power to transform lives -- and even save them.

Mind Snatchers, The : Private James Reese (Christopher Walken) is a misfit G.I. stationed in Western Europe. Reese's violent temper has landed him in the stockade more than once, and even his girlfriend asks him to seek psychiatric help. Unexpectedly, Reese is driven to a secluded mansion fair into the country. The facility is apparently some kind of hospital, though there are few patients or staff members. Without explanation, Reese is assigned to a room with Miles (Ronny Cox), a young American suffering from terminal cancer. Miles, like Reese, suffers from bouts of aggressive, violent behavior. Slowly, Reese learns the truth. The mansion houses a secret Army unit, for medical experimentation. Men with anti-social personality disorders are being used as guinea pigs in brain-control research.
