Bücher von Arthur Freeman

Madness to Magic is a raw and honest memoir that attempts to shine light on the undercurrents of madness and instability that lurks in the unacknowledged corners of our psyche. Arthur shares his brushes with the mental health system and the terrifying atmosphere that these institutions often create for those in an unstable state of consciousness. Through his experiences of being committed to several mental hospitals we get a glimpse of what it is like to live in the head of one going through intense inner turmoil as well as reality breaking psychosis. In addition we watch Arthur travel around the world to Brazil, Japan, and Peru in search of alternative healing methods and perspectives on his experiences. The author is determined to not be defined by his mental health label, or restricted to pharmaceutical treatment. This book details his struggles with the nature of mind and turbulent relationships. Filled with insights, altered states of consciousness, and psychic awareness, Madness to Magic takes the reader on the frightening yet exciting adventure that comes with spiritual emergence, awakening, and discovering that there is much more beneath the surface of life that what at first appears.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) frequently creates turmoil, dysfunction, and impairment in the lives of diagnosed people, as well as among their families, friends, and colleagues.

BPD presents with so many clinical permutations that clinicians are often at a loss when trying to address the unique and varied needs of their clients. Neither clinician nor client is in a position to establish the control the client so desperately needs.
