TED Conferences #ad - Longden calls for a new, nuanced understanding of voice hearing and urges us to see madness not as a condition, but as a process — one through which those who struggle with mental health issues have the chance to emerge with their sanity intact. Diagnosed with schizophrenia and checked into a psychiatric ward, Longden spent years trapped in a nightmare of hospitals and medications, pain and despair.

Yet she survived. Her technique: to learn to listen to her internal narrators, not reject them. Longden’s story shows that there is, in the end, a message in the madness. In psychology, longden still hears voices — and she says she wouldn’t live without them. Part personal memoir and part medical argument, Learning from the Voices in My Head challenges society’s definition of crazy.

Learning from the Voices in My Head TED Books Book 39 #ad - Now on the cusp of finishing her Ph. D. Eleanor longden was a college freshman when she started hearing voices in her head.

University of New Mexico Press #ad - It is solely mine, solely the viewpoint of one man, solely a father's feelings about his daughter. From robert hine's preface to broken glassABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORSRobert V. Hine is a distinguished historian retired from UC Riverside and now affiliated with University of California, Irvine. When robert hine's daughter, elene, first showed signs of unhappiness as a little girl, no one dreamed she would grow up to have a serious personality disorder.

He is the author of two memoirs, Broken Glass UNM Press and Second Sight, as well as numerous history publications. In spite of unimaginable difficulties, Elene and her father preserved their relationship and survived. My daughter has given me permission to go ahead with the effort, but I know she would react quite differently to many of the events.

Broken Glass: A Family's Journey Through Mental Illness #ad - This is not the story she would tell. As an early "baby boomer, " Elene reached adolescence and young womanhood in the midst of the counterculture years. Her father, a respected professor of american history at the University of California, shares the story of his family's struggle to keep Elene on track and functional, to see her through her troubles with delusions, medication, and eventually to help her raise her own children.

Candid in its portrayal of the suffering Elene and her parents endured and the stumbling efforts of doctors and hospitals, Hine's story is also generous and inspiring. Where i saw confusion and delusion, she may well have seen purpose and steadiness.

Falling Into the Fire: A Psychiatrist's Encounters with the Mind in Crisis

#ad
Penguin Books #ad - A doctor of uncommon curiosity and compassion, Montross discovers lessons in medieval dancing plagues, in leading forensic and neurological research, and in moments from her own life. Beautifully written, deeply felt, falling Into the Fire brings us inside the doctor’s mind, illuminating the grave human costs of mental illness as well as the challenges of diagnosis and treatment.

Throughout, by what contemporary medicine knows about the brain? when all else fails, Montross confronts the larger question of psychiatry: What is to be done when a patient’s experiences cannot be accounted for, what remains is the capacity to abide, Montross finds, or helped, to sit with the desperate in their darkest moments.

Falling into the fire is psychiatrist Christine Montross’s thoughtful investigation of the gripping patient encounters that have challenged and deepened her practice. At once rigorous and meditative, falling Into the Fire is an intimate portrait of psychiatry, allowing the reader to witness the humanity of the practice and the enduring mysteries of the mind.

Falling Into the Fire: A Psychiatrist's Encounters with the Mind in Crisis #ad - We meet a young woman who habitually commits self-injury, having ingested light bulbs, a box of nails, and a steak knife, among other objects. Is she psychotic and a danger or does she suffer from obsessive thoughts? Her course of treatment—and her child’s future—depends upon whether she receives the correct diagnosis.

Each case study presents its own line of inquiry, leading Montross to seek relevant psychiatric knowledge from diverse sources. Is it ecstasy or psychosis? what legal ability do doctors have to hospitalize—and sometimes medicate—a patient against his will? A new mother is admitted with incessant visions of harming her child.

Her repeated visits to the hospital incite the frustration of the staff, leading Montross to examine how emotion can interfere with proper care.
