Hardback. Condición: Good. "A revelatory account of the importance that psychiatric treatment and research from the 1950s has for mental health today." Jean Freeman, author of Fists upon a Star Before she became a psychiatric nurse at "The Mental" in the 1950s, Kay Parley was a patient there, as were the father she barely remembered and the grandfather she'd never met. Part memoir, part history, and beautifully written, Inside The Mental offers an episodic journey into the stigma, horror, and redemption that she found within the institution's walls. Now in her nineties, Parley looks back at the emerging use of group therapy, the advent of patient rights, evolving ethics in psychiatry, and the amazing cast of characters she met there. She also reveals her role in groundbreaking experiments with LSD, pioneered by the world's leading researchers at "The Mental" to treat addiction and mental illness.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Stigma is everywhere around us. People may mistrust the unhoused or discriminate against those suffering from an addiction. They may change the way they interact with someone after witnessing a panic attack from anxiety or PTSD. Or they may judge others for their appearance and their weight. Stigma leads to harmful stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. It can keep people from seeking the help and support they need. They may internalize others' stigma and start to blame themselves for their condition or experiences. In some cases, the effects of stigma can even be life threatening. Even with so many examples, it can be difficult to identify stigma in real time and even harder to work against it. But learning about common types of stigma can help to reduce them. Author and registered nurse Connie Goldsmith covers six stigmatized conditions--poor mental health, addiction, homelessness, relationship abuse, PTSD, and above average weight--to help you understand what stigma looks like and how it affects real people. Discover how you can dismantle stigma and work to reduce stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. The first spiritual mystery novel by Ryuho Okawa.One early summer afternoon, an incident took place in a densely wooded park in Tokyo. Following the alarming sound of a young woman's scream, the alleged victim was found lying with his eyes wide open and foaming at the mouth. The victim was a well-built, strong man: an off-duty Marine. There was no sign of forced trauma, nor even a drop of blood. The only forensic evidence was a small button that seemed to have come from female clothing. Later, similar mysterious murder cases occurred in three other instances. When a detective managed to connect the dots, he came across a young ascetic Catholic nun. The nun, who suffered from amnesia, believed she was bestowed a 'cross' from Jesus, a symbolic holy grail that empowered her to pursue her sacred mission in life.This page-turner novel contains many twists and turns, introducing a new genre of spiritual and religious mystery.…
