For thirty years Mary Barnes was a schizophrenic. This is the story of her resurrection. In 1966, Mary Barnes was a hopeless schizophrenic, and Joseph Berke was a young doctor rebelling against the restrictions of American psychiatry.

Digging for Goals is a wonderful book/workbook in one! “Mary does a great job of laying a foundation for what is needed in mind, body and spirit to develop your desires/dreams/intentions. And if that is not enough, Mary lays out 7 different approaches for developing those intentions into reality. I found Digging for Goals to be an effective process-oriented book to get you from where you are to where you want to be! Knowing Mary as a professional coach, her ‘wholistic’ flavor definitely shines through the process of Digging for Goals! I would highly recommend Digging for Goals if you are serious about moving toward your dreams in life. “ – Shawn Preuss, PCC Professional Life Coach ...
In 1971 Mary Barnes published Mary Barnes: Two Accounts of a Journey Through Madness. The book is probably the most celebrated contemporary account of what it is like to be mad. In it she describes the experience of profound regression in London's best-known community household of the 1960s, Kingsley Hall. Something Sacred continues the story, describing her subsequent life and her involvement in a series of psychotherapeutic households, this time as a helper to others. She looks back on the Kingsley Hall years with detachment, humour and gratitude. Her observations on problems of mental health care, the relationship between psychotherapy and religious practice, and the nature of deep regression will stimulate much thought.

From New York Times bestselling author Mary H.K. Choi comes a funny and emotional story about two estranged sisters and how far they’ll go to save one of their lives—even if it means swapping identities. Jayne and June Baek are nothing alike. June’s three years older, a classic first-born, know-it-all narc with a problematic finance job and an equally soulless apartment (according to Jayne). Jayne is an emotionally stunted, self-obsessed basket case who lives in squalor, has egregious taste in men, and needs to get to class and stop wasting Mom and Dad’s money (if you ask June). Once thick as thieves, these sisters who moved from Seoul to San Antonio to New York together now don’t want anything to do with each other. That is, until June gets cancer. And Jayne becomes the only one who can help her. Flung together by circumstance, housing woes, and family secrets, will the sisters learn more about each other than they’re willing to confront? And what if while helping June, Jayne has to confront the fact that maybe she’s sick, too?
