E-raamat: Madness and the Political Divide

Drawing upon his training and extensive experience in both psychiatry and ethics, Allen Dyer shows us how various forms of madness have infected our understandings of ourselves, our politics, and our world. Anyone interested in living in the real world rather than the simplistic and comforting fantasies of our times will relish Dyers most insightful book. - Larry R. Churchill, PhD; Stahlman Professor of Medical Ethics, Emeritus Vanderbilt University

Madness and the Political Divide merges philosophical inquiry with real-life narratives, distilling urgency from the epidemic of social fragmentation. As an Episcopal priest, I see its relevance not only for mental health professionals but also for every institution seeking reconciliation and hope. Dyers engagement with justice and care provides a timely roadmap through fractured cultural terrain. - The Rev. John T. Harwood, Ph.D.; Emeritus, Penn State; Rector, St. Marks Episcopal Church Lewistown, PA

"With brilliant insight into the current political muddle, Allen Dyers Madness and the Political Divide provides cogent explanations informed by his years of experience as a mental health authority and his deep spiritual core. Wildly creative Interludes based on fairy tales, Shakespeare plays and archetypal figures add lively commentary. If youve been struggling with the daily barrage of nonsensical speech and events, this is for you." - The Rev. Dr. Victoria R. Sirota, Episcopal priest, musician, librettist and author (Preaching to the Choir: Claiming the Role of Sacred Musician, Church Publishing) Drawing upon his training and extensive experience in both psychiatry and ethics, Allen Dyer shows us how various forms of madness have infected our understandings of ourselves, our politics, and our world.
