Clinical Perspectives on Multiple Personality Disorder

Good Shrink/Bad Shrink
Some of the most illustrious minds in psychiatry and psychology once applied their talents and skills to develop abusive mind control methodologies for their countries. These programs were designed to render their victims compliant, to behave in ways that covert agencies could exploit. Psychiatric resident Eve Gilchrist encounters a puzzling patient whose flashbacks suggest that the life he thought he remembered was an artefact of brainwashing. Consultant Ben Jordan, experienced with both psychoanalysis and hypnosis, discovers that the man is still being trained and monitored by the Project, a shadowy group that applies officially-condemned mind control technologies for profit in the private...
An Obituary to Die For
Governor Jim Melville looks like a sure thing for his party's presidential nomination. Psychiatrist Ben Jordan, his college friend, never suspects Melville's ties to a sinister group operating behind the fa�ade of the Glenville-Rodgers Foundation, a Beltway think tank.

A Sinister Subtraction
A Sinister Subtraction paints a realistic and unflinching portrait of "The Memory Wars" of the 1990s, one of the most painfully conflicted and bitterly disputed episodes in the history of the mental health professions. Did accusations of childhood abuse stemming from long-unavailable memories deserve serious consideration? Or should they be dismissed as artefacts unlikely to be true? The clash of these polarized perspectives inflicted painful consequences upon many among the accusers and the accused, and wounded numerous professionals caught up in these angry debates. A mystery and courtroom drama solidly grounded in psychological science, A Sinister Subtraction provides a penetrating study of the lasting impact of childhood sexual, the ongoing vulnerability to revictimization that too often follows mistreated children into their adult lives, and the efforts of abusers to discredit the claims of their accusers.
Shelter from the Storm
How can we help our patients process their traumatic memories without their becoming retraumatized and overwhelmed severely all over again?

Late in the 1600s, on a lovely spring day, the beloved but elderly Rabbi of Berdicheva, accompanied by three of his students, sets out traveling north from Berdicheva through the Pale of Settlement toward Vilna, the rabbi's birthplace and still the home of his brother and his family.
