Preposterous as it sounds, we are not who we seem to be. Not even
close. At the heart of this misperception is our deep-seated
conviction of free choice. Based on emerging neurobehavioral
science findings, The Deceptive Brain makes the case for human
experience as a narrative illusion-an executive summary of
sorts-that emerges from an incredibly complex brain. The Deceptive
Brain drills down on what this finding means for the way we blame
and punish, and presents a bold alternative approach to criminal
justice based on blameless responsibility.

Mr. Thomas Andrew Dorsey's telephone number was given to the writer
of this newly released book by the name, Thomas A. Dorsey, Father
of Black Gospel Music An Interview, by a directory assistance
operator in Chicago, Illinois. The writer, at the time, (1975) took
a chance and called, not expecting the first publisher of Black
Gospel Music, to answer the phone. A very hoarse voice said
"Hello," and the writer recognized it immediately as being the
voice he had heard on a recording about Gospel Music that Mr.
Dorsey had done. After being asked if he would consent to being
interviewed Mr. Dorsey unenthusiastically said yes. He was
unenthusiastic the writer later discovered, because fortune hunters
and status seekers had been plaguing him for interviews. Honored
that Mr. Dorsey had said yes, the writer took a train from Kansas
City, Missouri to Chicago, to interview this man who had written
hundreds of songs.

Choosing a psychiatrist is complicated. If a person doesn’t know
what to look for and the questions to ask, finding the right
psychiatrist can be daunting.The goal is to find one who, while
remaining a competent physician, is as comfortable and capable
working with problems of the mind as he or she is prescribing
psychiatric medications.   Combining over forty
years of experience as a practicing psychiatrist with an
insider’s perspective of current psychiatric practice, Dr. Robert
Taylor provides invaluable guidance to persons considering
psychiatric treatment or contemplating a change of doctor in an
effort to find better treatment. Cautioning readers against
settling for a psychiatrist who views psychodrugs as the treatment,
Dr. Taylor provides specific suggestions for avoiding the growing
number of psychiatrists who write scripts automatically. In recent
decades, psychiatric care has been overly reliant on psychodrugs.
Patient diagnoses are being seriously questioned. Finding
the Right Psychiatrist encourages people to seek care from a
complete psychiatrist—one able and willing to pursue matters of
mind and brain/body, rather than settling on psychodrugs as the
main treatment. Throughout the book, readers learn about the proper
uses and limits of psychiatric diagnosis. Dr. Taylor carefully
outlines an individualized approach to psychiatric care guided more
by a patient’s particular problems and situation than by
diagnoses that often mislead more than help. He provides a
realistic appraisal of psychiatric medications: what they can and
cannot do as well, a discussion of mind work tools, traits of
effective psychiatrists, suggestions for how to deal with common
insurance company obstacles, and an explanation of the confusing
politics of psychiatry. An indispensable resource for anyone
seeking psychiatric help or tasked with advising someone of what to
look for in a doctor, Finding the Right Psychiatrist gives hope and
guidance to those searching for complete and personalized care.

Finding the Right Psychiatrist.
When faced with a patient whose psychological symptoms may stem
from an organic, or medical, condition rather than psychology, how
does the practitioner determine exactly which is the true case? To
facilitate this process and give psychologists, social workers, and
nurses a useable guide to assessment, Robert Taylor created
"Psychological Masquerade" and has updated it to be the most
complete handbook you will ever need in the field.
New chapters on violent behavior, amnesia and dementia, sex
obsession, and Munchausen-by-Proxy fill out the guide and numerous
case studies help clarify diagnostic criteria and provide a welcome
hands-on approach to caring for clients in this delicate balance.
As a further enhancement of the text as assessment tool, self-tests
for hypothetical cases are included as are specific clinical tests
that aid in clue gathering.
This is the perfect clinical guide for any practitioner who is
likely to come into contact with psychological masquerade among
their clients and will be a welcome addition to the practitioner's
toolbox.
