The Body Keeps the Score : [electronic resource] : Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma. by Bessel van der Kolk.; Pratt, Sean.;

Narrator: Sean Pratt.Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world's foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers' capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments -- from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga -- that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk's own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 457225 KB).

Shrinks : the untold story of psychiatry / by Lieberman, Jeffrey A.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.ǂIntroduction -- What's wrong with Elena? -- Part I. The story of diagnosis-- The stepchild of medicine : mesmerists, alienists, and analysts -- Down the garden path : the rise of the shrink -- What is mental illness? : a farrago of diagnoses -- Destroying the Rembrandts, Goyas, and Van Goghs : anti-Freudians to the rescue -- Part II. The story of treatment-- Desperate measures : fever cures, coma therapy, and lobotomies -- Mother's little helper: medicine at last -- Part III. Psychiatry reborn-- Out of the wilderness : the brain revolution -- Soldier's heart : the mystery of trauma -- The triumph of pluralism : the DSM-5 -- The end of stigma : the future of psychiatry.Psychiatry has come a long way since the days of chaining "lunatics" in cold cells and parading them as freakish marvels before a gaping public. But, as Jeffrey Lieberman, MD, reveals, the path to legitimacy for "the black sheep of medicine" has been anything but smooth. Here, Dr. Lieberman traces the field from its birth as a mystic pseudo-science through its adolescence as a cult of "shrinks" to its late blooming maturity--beginning after World War II--as a science-driven profession that saves lives. It's a history full of fanciful theories--from Franz Mesmer's nineteenth-century notion of "animal magnetism" to the classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder as late as the 1970s--and reckless treatments, including "coma therapies" and ice-pick lobotomies. It's also the story of a field divided against itself, torn between mind-focused psychiatrists like Sigmund Freud, whose theory of psychoanalysis dominated American psychiatry for more than half a century, and brain-focused neuroscientists like Eric Kandel, whose pioneering research helped bring the reign of Freud, his hero, to a close. At its heart, Shrinks is a detective tale, propelled by the central questions, what is mental illness and how can it be treated? The true heroes of this tale are the men and women who dared to challenge the status quo in pursuit of answers.--From publisher description.

Suttons Bay / by Underhill, Robert.;

"Spring in Leelanau County is very quiet. The Sheriff's Department fields inquires about road conditions, reports of lost pets and the occasional plea of a motorist who has struck a deer. Then comes Tom Morgan's desperate call for the village of Suttons Bay -- a call that shatters the calm at the sheriff's office and turns Morgan's ordered life on its head. Murder is the last thing one expects here."--Page 4 of cover.

How thin the veil : a memoir of 45 days in the Traverse City State Hospital / by Kerkhoff, Jack.;

""So this is my return to Traverse City, Michigan. Not to the sprawling white house on Washington Street, which all of us loved, but to Traverse City State Hospital, in other days bluntly called an insane asylum." Picture a slightly decrepit, snow-covered state hospital. A depressed writer checks himself into the asylum and is placed in the ward for alcoholics and the mildly insane. Under the care of a wise and patient, chain-smoking doctor, our hero examines his suicidal motivations, while at the same time keeping a writer's eye on the inmates and their almost universal malady of "woman trouble." As the snow comes down and Christmas nears, "woman trouble" takes on new meaning when the author falls in love with beautiful, child-like Suzy from Ward Eleven. This memoir, originally published in 1952, takes a hard-boiled look at mental health treatment before the collapse of the state-sponsored system. Bawdy, inappropriate, deeply romantic and rich in captivating characters, How Thin the Veil takes the love story to where it's never been before."--Provided by publisher.
