Your Consent Is Not Required: The Rise in Psychiatric Detentions, Forced Treatment, and Abusive Guardianships
by Rob WipondAsylums are supposed to be in the past. However, though the buildings were closed, many of the practices lived on.In fact, more law-abiding Americans today are being involuntarily committed and forcibly treated &“for their own good&” than at any time in history.In the first work of investigative journalism in decades to give a comprehensive view into contemporary psychiatric incarceration and forced interventions, Your Consent Is Not Required exposes how rising numbers of people from many walks of life are being subjected against their will to surveillance, indefinite detention, and powerful tranquilizing drugs, restraints, seclusion, and electroshock. There&’s a common misconception that, due to asylum closures, only &“dangerous&” people get committed now. But forced psychiatric interventions today occur in thousands of public and private hospitals, and also in group and long-term care facilities, troubled-teen and residential treatment centers, and even in people&’s own homes under outpatient commitment orders. Intended to &“help,&” for many people the experiences are terrifying, traumatizing, and permanently damaging. Driven partly by individuals&’ genuine concerns for the &“mental health&” of others, and partly by institutions entangled with goals of power, profit, and social control, psychiatric coercion is increasingly used to: manage school children and the elderlyquell family conflictspolice the streets control people in shelters, community living, and prisonsfraudulently increase hospital profits&“resolve&” workplace disagreementsdetain protesters and discredit whistleblowers Thoroughly researched, with alarming true stories and hard data from the US and Canada, Rob Wipond&’s Your Consent Is Not Required builds an unassailable case for greater transparency, vigilance, and change.

Your Eyes: A Book for Paramedical Personnel and the Lay Reader
by Thomas ChalkleyOf the five senses, vision, without a doubt, is one of the most important. We have only two eyes and they must last a lifetime. And it is because this gift of sight is so precious, that fear of blindness is a universal concern. If it is based on ignorance or misconception, this apprehension is unnecessary. The purpose of this little volume is to fulfill the need for a simple, straightforward, uncomplicated book concerning your eyes. It is the author's hope that this book will help to increase the reader's understanding of the structure, function, and diseases of the eye. The entire text has been expanded upon and updated and a new chapter included by Doctor Mary Cuaycong on Refractive Vision Correction. The author covers general eye anatomy and physiology, light and vision, the conjuctiva, the cornea, cataracts, glaucoma, the uveal tract, the retina, neuro-ophthalmology, strabismus, eye changes associated with general diseases and eye injuries. The book concludes with a glossary and a helpful section of answers to often-asked questions. It will be of interest to eye patients, ophthalmology paraprofessionals and assistants and other interested individuals. Fear resulting from a real eye disease is realistic. It is easier to cope with these fears and with the problem itself if it is understood. Fortunately, in ophthalmology, the understanding of the difficulty can frequently lead to the solution of the problem. Continuing vision can be preserved, and frequently vision lost can be restored. Ongoing dynamic new advances are continuing in the battle against blindness. Understanding is a large part of the battle. That's what this book is all about.
