Welcome to Dorley Hall / by Greaves, Alysonauthor;
"Mark Vogel is like the older brother Stefan Riley never had, until one day he disappears, and Stefan has to adapt to life without him. But, one year later, when he runs into a girl who looks near-identical to Mark, Stefan becomes obsessed. He discovers that other boys have disappeared, too, dozens over the years, most of them students of the Royal College of Saint Almsworth, many of them troubled or unruly before their disappearance. What is happening to these boys? Who are the handful of women on campus who bear a striking resemblance to some of those who went missing? And what is the connection to the mysterious Dorley Hall? Stefan works hard to get into the Royal College for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too. A closeted trans girl attempts to infiltrate a secret underground forced feminization program." --

The sleep room : a sadistic psychiatrist and the women who survived him / by Stock, Jon,author. (CARDINAL)419260;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 345-351) and index."The Sleep Room is thriller novelist Jon Stock's investigation into one of the most revered figures in British postwar medicine, the private world of the Sleep Room in Ward 5, and the science of the psychology that produced it. Building on the testimony of eight survivors, Stock looks at the problem of the limited tool kit psychology has at its disposal, and the shadowy interface between medicine, the intelligence community, and dangerous charlatans. Dr. William Sargant ran a lucrative private practice and published multiple books on psychiatry, and he was awarded the Starkey medal and prize by the Royal Society of Health for his work on psychiatric medicine. But what he was best known for was the apogee of his career: the Sleep Room in Ward 5. This was a dark gallery where patients selected by Sargant were, often without their consent or that of their families, subjected to deep narcosis, sleeping for more than 21 hours per day for weeks at a time, and roused only for sessions of electroconvulsive therapy. There, Sargent practiced his enthusiasm for now-discredited treatments such as lobotomy and electroshock therapy with zeal. Inspired by the work of Pavlov on conditioning in dogs, and by the post-Freudian revolution in psychiatric pharmacology, Sargant believed in aggressive interventions. When his patients finished their treatment, they had lost not only memories of trauma, but also any sense of who they were or why they were there. At least four of them died in the room. Between 1964 and 1972, hundreds of women were treated in the now-shuttered ward of the Royal Waterloo Hospital for Women and Children. A group of survivors, now in their 60s and 70s, have come forward to share their stories and advocate for change." --

The chair and the valley : a memoir of trauma, healing, and the outdoors / by Lyon, Banning,author.(CARDINAL)888984;
"An incredible memoir about one man's journey to heal from his trauma through chosen family, friendship, and nature. Banning Lyon was your average 15-year-old, living in Dallas, TX. He enjoyed listening to punk rock music, skateboarding, and even had a part-time job. But in January 1987 his life quickly changed after a school guidance counselor falsely believed he was suicidal after giving away a skateboard. A few days later, he was admitted into a hospital and what he was told would be a two-week stay turned into 353 days that would change his life forever. Banning takes readers through his fraught relationship with his family, the abuse he suffered at the hospital, the lawsuit against the owners of the hospital that would make him a millionaire, and his desire to try and make sense of what happened to him. We witness Banning navigate the difficult landscape of trauma and his daily battle to live a normal life. After years of highs and lows that include being adopted by his lawyer and mentor, falling in love and grieving the death of his fiancé, and being sued by the same doctors who abused him, Banning decides to take control of his life and finds hope in the terrains of Yosemite National Park, where he discovers his purpose for being a backpacking guide. Through therapy, friendship, and nature, Banning finds the strength to keep moving forward. The Chair and The Valley is a raw, gut-wrenching, and incredible story about healing from your trauma and starting over. It is a testament to the power of chosen family, the restorative power of nature, and the strength it takes to show up for yourself every day"--

Committed : on meaning and madwomen / by Scanlon, Suzanne,Author(DLC)no2012143945;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 347 349)."When Suzanne Scanlon was a student at Barnard in the 90s, grieving the loss of her mother--feeling untethered and swimming through inarticulable pain--she made a suicide attempt at twenty years old that landed her in the New York State Psychiatric Institute. After nearly four years and countless experimental treatments, Suzanne left the ward on shaky legs. In the decades it took her to recover from the experience, Suzanne came to understand her suffering as part of something larger. She began to see herself as part of a long tradition of women whose stories are reduced to "crazy chick" narratives, rather than stories of women who forged complicated and compromised stories of self-actualization: Virginia Woolf, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Frances Farmer, Jean Seberg, Sylvia Plath, Shulamith Firestone. It was a thrilling discovery, and she searched for more books, more woman writers, as the journey of her life converged with her journey through the literature that shapes and ultimately saves her. Committed is Suzanne's story about discovery and recovery, reclaiming the idea of the "madwoman" as one template for insight and transcendence. Committed ducks and weaves through the works of these seminal madwomen via Suzanne's own story of resilience and being. She paints vivid portraits of friends and lovers, life on the ward and after, and the women who saved her life by encouraging her to live it"--.
