    Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 667min
    In her tour-de-force first novel, Juliann Garey takes us inside the restless mind, ravaged heart, and anguished soul of Greyson Todd, a successful Hollywood studio executive who leaves his wife and young daughter and for a decade travels the world giving free reign to the bipolar disorder he's been forced to keep hidden for almost 20 years. The novel intricately weaves together three timelines: the story of Greyson's travels (Rome, Israel, Santiago, Thailand, Uganda); the progressive unraveling of his own father seen through Greyson's eyes as a child; and the intimacies and estrangements of his marriage. The entire narrative unfolds in the time it takes him to undergo 12 30-second electroshock treatments in a New York psychiatric ward. This is a literary page-turner of the first order, and a brilliant inside look at mental illness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Butler.

    Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine, and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 795min
    Schizophrenics in the United States currently fare worse than patients in the world’s poorest countries. In Mad in America, medical journalist Robert Whitaker argues that modern treatments for the severely mentally ill are just old medicine in new bottles, and that we as a society are deeply deluded about their efficacy. The widespread use of lobotomies in the 1920s and 1930s gave way in the 1950s to electroshock and a wave of new drugs. In what is perhaps Whitaker’s most damning revelation, Mad in America examines how drug companies in the 1980s and 1990s skewed their studies to prove that new antipsychotic drugs were more effective than the old, while keeping patients in the dark about dangerous side effects. A haunting, deeply compassionate audiobook now revised with a new introduction. Mad in America raises important questions about our obligations to the mad, the meaning of "insanity,” and what we value most about the human mind. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Edvard Munch: Between the Clock and the Bed
    A penetrating reassessment of Munch s memorable painting and profound artistic legacy .This engaging book offers a fresh look at the exceptional works of Edvard Munch (1863-1944) by examining them in the light of his precarious mental state. Following a nervous breakdown in 1908, Munch underwent electroshock therapy, which prompted a marked change in his art work. The haunting Self-Portrait between the Clock and the Bed, finished one year before his death, represents a culmination of the themes of mortality, isolation, and anxiety that he explored repeatedly, and provides, in these pages, a perfect lens through which to view the artist s entire oeuvre. Informative essays consider Munch s position in the art world, his conception of self as a means of experimentation, and the psychological content of his paintings, while a previously unpublished foreword by the celebrated Norwegian novelist Karl Ove Knausgaard offers a new perspective on Munch's life and work.

    I'm So Glad You're Here: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 184min
    I’m So Glad You’re Here is the story of a family disrupted by ramifications of a father’s mental illness. The memoir opens with a riveting account of Gay, age 18, witnessing her father being bound in a straitjacket and carried out of the house on a stretcher. The trauma she experiences escalates when, after her father has had electroshock treatments at a state mental hospital, her parents leave her in a college dorm room and move from Massachusetts to Florida without her. She feels abandoned. Both her parents have gone missing. Decades later, when Gay and her three much-older siblings show up for their father’s funeral, she witnesses her sundered family’s inability to gather together. Eventually, she is diagnosed with PTSD of abandonment and treated with EMDR therapy - and finally begins to heal. Poignant and powerful, I’m So Glad You’re Here is Gay’s exploration of the idea that while the wounds we carry from growing up in fractured families stay with us, they do not have to control us - a reflective journey that will inspire listeners to think about their own relational lives. ungekürzt.

    Smoking Cigarettes, Eating Glass: A Psychologist's Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 638min
    Annita Sawyer's memoir is a harrowing, heroic, and redeeming story of her battle with mental illness, and her triumph in overcoming it. In 1960, as a suicidal teenager, Sawyer was institutionalized, misdiagnosed, and suffered through 89 electroshock treatments before being transferred, labeled as "unimproved". The damage done has haunted her life. Discharged in 1966, after finally receiving proper psychiatric care, Sawyer kept her past secret and moved on to graduate from Yale University, raise two children, and become a respected psychotherapist. That is, until 2001, when she reviewed her hospital records and began to remember a broken childhood and the even more broken mental health system of the 1950s and 1960s, Revisiting scenes from her childhood and assembling the pieces of a lost puzzle, her autobiography is a cautionary tale of careless psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, both 50 years ago and today. It is an informative story about understanding PTSD and making emotional sense of events that can lead a soul to darkness. Most of all, it's a story of perseverance: pain, acceptance, healing, hope, and success. Hers is a unique voice for this generation, shedding light on an often misunderstood illness. ungekürzt.

    The Slave: The Men of Jen, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min
    Dating disasters happen to most everyone, but for Jen they become catastrophes of monumental proportions. Jen's first therapist suggested she write her "escapades" down for therapeutic reasons to help free her conscience of the misfortunes that befall her short relationships and to help address Jen's underlying serial dating problem. After reading Jen's short stories, that therapist prescribed electroconvulsive therapy (aka electroshock therapy) and then abruptly joined a cult and moved to Guatemala to become a goat herder with the new Messiah. Jen's nine point nine percent sure it had nothing to do with her dating said therapist's son and convincing him to become a sex dungeon master. Each 'Man-i-sode' chronicles stereotypical male behaviors that Jen has nailed to perfection in the most comedic way possible; she's sarcastic, witty, snarky, and maybe even a little crazy. Man-i-sode: Karaoke King - A boy trapped in a middle-aged mans' body who's obsessed with Vanilla Ice. Man-i-sode: The Model - Gorgeous hunk of meat with rocks for brains. Man-i-sode: Margarita Man - Quasi musician who looks forward to his annual 'man trip' in order to reattach his balls. Man-i-sode: The Slave - Momma's boy who has no thoughts of his own. ungekürzt.
