My Autobiography

I have currently switched to a free account and thus my blog and shop are (bar one blog entry) emptied to save storage space. Please see below for my external texts audio recordings, both those critical of psychiatry's biomedical model (as opposed to the trauma model of mental disorders originally formulated by Dr. Colin A. Ross), and also those serving as an introduction to some of the other academic topics that interest me.

Alternatively, one can purchase the single-volume Second Edition Books I & II of my in depth early life autobiography, Consumption: Memories of My Childhood. Inspired by the work of Alice Miller, César Tort, Silvano Arieti, and John Modrow, Consumption is a candid, at times harrowing account of the painful childhood circumstances that shaped my later life.

Book Specifications:

331 Pages, US Trade, Standard Colour, 80# Coated White, Hardback, Glossy Cover, £45.

Consumption is available on Lulu and on Amazon.
