Sexual Disorders
As in all interpersonal or physical aspects of our lives, there can be problems in sex, and sexual behavior. Perhaps no part of medical care is dominated by as much stigma as sexuality, and perhaps no other area carries as much misunderstanding as sexuality and sexual disorders. This book presents a brief overview of sexual disorders, dysfunction, paraphilias, and gender dysphoria. (99 pages)
Can Infection Lead to Mental Illness?
This short book is a beginning exploration into the concept that infectious agents can eventually cause mental illness. The hope is that an exploration of infectious agents and their role in mental illness will lead to a more full understanding of the pathology behind mental illnesses, but more than that, lead to ideas about treatments for these disorders. (87 pp.)
The President’s Secret
In this novel, “The President’s Secret,” America’s first woman president struggles with her past, and seeks psychotherapy to manage the effects of distant trauma on her current behavior.
