Synopsis My Life as a Psychiatrist by : Ajita Chakraborty
At The Age Of 12 Or 13, Ajita Chakraborty Read Moner Khela [The Games The Mind Plays] By Bijoylal Chattopadhyay, Who Interpreted The Characters Of Many Fictional Characters Through Psychoanalysis, Resulting In A Lifelong Fascination And Commitment To Psychiatry. As The First Woman Psychiatrist In India, Aged 82, Chakraborty Looks Back At Her Life And A Work, Talking Frankly About Herself, Her Unconventional Family And Broken Home, The 'Confusions' Of Her Childhood That Propelled Her To Becoming A Psychiatrist. Qualified As A Doctor, She Sailed To England In 1952, To Further Her Medical Education, Training As A Psychiatrist At The Well-Known Maudsley Hospital And The Institute Of Psychiatry In London, Working In British Mental Hospitals For Almost Ten Years, And Also Obtaining Qualifications Such As Dpm And Mrcp. She Returned To India In 1960, Where Modern Psychiatry Was Still A Fledgling, Considered As Subordinate To 'Neurology'. As The First Woman In The Field She Faced Considerable Hostility And Opposition, And Saw Her Dreams Of Setting Up An Advanced Department Of Psychiatry And Elevating Its Then Lowly Status Fail. Indeed The Book Throws Considerable Light On The Sociology On Medicine And Discusses Why Chakraborty And Her Friends Who Had Returned With Medical Qualifications Gained Abroad Were Thwarted In Their Attempts To Set Up A Modern Public Health System (Which Exists In A Haphazard Way Today]. Of Considerable Interest Is Chakraborty'S Discussion On Why Psychiatry Taught In The West Cannot Be Applied Directly In Another Culture, Emphasising The Need And Significance Of Transcultural Psychology In A Very Complex Society Like India. The Second Part Of The Book Offers A Selection From Her Essays, Published In Various Distinguished Journals, Which Are Indeed An Essential Part Of The Memoir As They Illustrate In 'Theoretical And Concrete Terms What Is Dealt With Anecdotally And Personally In The Memoir'.

Synopsis A Psychiatrist's Guide to Advocacy by : Mary C. Vance, M.D.
"A Psychiatrist's Guide to Advocacy explores the diverse conditions that may demand an in-tervention or affirmative response from mental health practitioners charged with advocating for patients and the profession. The editors and authors argue for a greater culture of advo-cacy among psychiatrists to effect broad and lasting changes, emphasizing that advocacy takes many forms (e.g., organizational, patient-level, legislative, media, education). The au-thors identify systemic problems in mental health care, describe the essential factors needed for effective advocacy, and delineate the advocacy needs of diverse patient populations (e.g., children and families, older adults, LGBTQ patients, veterans)"--

Synopsis Rearview by : Barry B. Perlman
In Rearview: A Psychiatrist Reflects on Practice and Advocacy in a Time of Healthcare System Change Dr. Barry B. Perlman, a graduate of Yale Medical School, offers an overview of his career in medicine. From his first inklings of interest in mental health tied to his grandmother's bouts of severe depression and his mother's volunteer work with persons discharged from psychiatric hospitals, to his summer jobs in hospitals, through to closing his practice and retirement, Perlman recounts the entire arc of his psychiatric and medical career. Through recalled anecdotes Perlman brings readers along by writing about experiences from medical school and his psychiatric residency. He describes his first professional experiences with dying, his cadaver, and clinical rotations such as neurosurgery and psychiatry. He experienced the English National Health Service when taking his OB/GYN clerkship in London. Readers will be introduced to several of his dedicated professors and their eccentricities. Other chapters introduce topics central to the practice of psychiatry. They include consideration of suicide, violence, poverty, and electroconvulsive therapy. One chapter is revealingly illustrated with art done by patients and ponders the question of what makes art, art. Many of the chapters include interesting case presentations. Dr. Perlman, an activist psychiatrist, served as president of the New York State Psychiatric Association. He was appointed by NYS Governor George Pataki as chair of the NYS Mental Health services Council and to the State Hospital Review and Planning Council. Based in participation, he describes the process and tensions involved in shaping public policy. Readers of Rearview will be taken on a tour of the multidimensional life of an activist psychiatrist whose professional life encompassed provision of direct clinical care, running a psychiatric department under challenging circumstances, and trying to improve the lives of persons serious mental illness.

Synopsis Many Lives, Many Masters by : Brian L. Weiss
As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from the "space between lives," which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss' family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

Synopsis The Perspectives of Psychiatry by : Paul R. McHugh
Substantially revised to include a wealth of new material, the second edition of this highly acclaimed work provides a concise, coherent introduction that brings structure to an increasingly fragmented and amorphous discipline. Paul R. McHugh and Phillip R. Slavney offer an approach that emphasizes psychiatry's unifying concepts while accommodating its diversity. Recognizing that there may never be a single, all-encompassing theory, the book distills psychiatric practice into four explanatory methods: diseases, dimensions of personality, goal-directed behaviors, and life stories. These perspectives, argue the authors, underlie the principles and practice of all psychiatry. With an understanding of these fundamental methods, readers will be equipped to organize and evaluate psychiatric information and to develop a confident approach to practice and research.

Synopsis Danger to Self by : Paul Linde
The psychiatric emergency room, a fast-paced combat zone with pressure to match, thrusts its medical providers into the outland of human experience where they must respond rapidly and decisively in spite of uncertainty and, very often, danger. In this lively first-person narrative, Paul R. Linde takes readers behind the scenes at an urban psychiatric emergency room, with all its chaos and pathos, where we witness mental health professionals doing their best to alleviate suffering and repair shattered lives. As he and his colleagues encounter patients who are hallucinating, drunk, catatonic, aggressive, suicidal, high on drugs, paranoid, and physically sick, Linde examines the many ethical, legal, moral, and medical issues that confront today's psychiatric providers. He describes a profession under siege from the outside—health insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, government regulators, and even "patients' rights" advocates—and from the inside—biomedical and academic psychiatrists who have forgotten to care for the patient and have instead become checklist-marking pill-peddlers. While lifting the veil on a crucial area of psychiatry that is as real as it gets, Danger to Self also injects a healthy dose of compassion into the practice of medicine and psychiatry.

Synopsis Becoming Myself by : Irvin D. Yalom
Bestselling writer and psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom puts himself on the couch in a “candid, insightful” (Abraham Verghese) memoir Irvin D. Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of others. In this profound memoir, he turns his writing and his therapeutic eye on himself. He opens his story with a nightmare: He is twelve, and is riding his bike past the home of an acne-scarred girl. Like every morning, he calls out, hoping to befriend her, "Hello Measles!" But in his dream, the girl's father makes Yalom understand that his daily greeting had hurt her. For Yalom, this was the birth of empathy; he would not forget the lesson. As Becoming Myself unfolds, we see the birth of the insightful thinker whose books have been a beacon to so many. This is not simply a man's life story, Yalom's reflections on his life and development are an invitation for us to reflect on the origins of our own selves and the meanings of our lives.

Synopsis Lifestyle Psychiatry by : Douglas L. Noordsy, M.D.
Exercise, a healthy diet, stress management, sound sleep: Most practitioners would agree that living well can mitigate the impact of mental disorders. Yet many are unprepared to address lifestyle factors in their care of patients. Lifestyle Psychiatry seeks to instill confidence by collating and analyzing the impressive emerging body of evidence that supports the efficacy of healthy lifestyle practices -- both as the primary intervention and in conjunction with traditional treatments such as psychopharmacology or psychotherapy -- in preventing and managing psychiatric disorders. This volume examines the impact of lifestyle interventions -- from exercise, yoga, and tai chi to mindfulness and meditation, diet and nutrition, and sleep management -- on psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and addiction. Readers can readily find data to support the use of specific lifestyle interventions for a patient presenting with a specific disorder. Detailed descriptions of the mechanisms of each lifestyle intervention also prepare practitioners to educate their patients on the specific neurobiological and psychological effects of these interventions to support their recovery. With chapters that focus on developing a robust therapeutic alliance and inspiring patients to assume responsibility for their own well-being, this guide provides a framework for lasting, sustainable lifestyle changes. Additionally, the book discusses the impact of the provider's lifestyle on clinical behavior and the implications of lifestyle medicine and psychiatry for health care systems and population health, offering a broader examination of the important role this new field can play in leading a sophisticated, holistic approach to optimizing wellness.

Synopsis Practice, Practice, Practice by : Daniela V. Gitlin MD
Patient ambushes! Clinician pratfalls! Community curveballs! Practice, Practice, Practice: This Psychiatrist's Life gives you a fly-on-the-wall view of therapy sessions along with actual transcripts of what's going through this therapist's mind as she's working, living and saving the day (or trying to). What else does this immersive memoir spanning twenty-five years of rural psychiatric practice expose? Flawless performance is not required for a therapist to be genuinely helpful. Written with unsparing candor and a light touch, these interconnected clinical and personal tales reveal a way of thinking that is essential for learning actively, living fully, and doing good work, with a sense of wonder, year after year. Whether you're simply curious, already in the field, or a mental health educator, you're sure to get some ideas for what to do (or not do!) with the people in your life. "I loved this book. It's interesting, compelling, and very insightful. I found it a sort of DIY therapy- Ohhh, so that's how I should approach.... Also, the faux science articles are HILARIOUS." Lori B. Duff, If You Did What I Asked in the First Place. "If you have ever wondered what a shrink's life is really like - from education, to training, to the large and small details of treating other people's inner pain every day- this book is for you. Gitlin's stories about her career as a psychiatrist in an underserved rural community are warm, funny, human, and deeply humane." Kristin Kimball, The Dirty Life; Good Husbandry "You'll enjoy this witty, scintillating account of treatments rendered to patients living hardscrabble lives. You'll benefit from her clinical acumen too- I've already used some of her nuggets with my own caseload. Noteworthy is her struggle to save her practice when a key insurance company drastically slashes her reimbursement rates. Get ready for an exciting read!" Alvin Pam, Ph.D, Splitting Up: Enmeshment and Estrangement in the Process of Divorce.
