This is the true story of one man who held a high military security clearance and had access to some of this Nation’s most sensitive secrets. Unknown to anyone, he also had a degenerating mental illness that took him from the halls of power to the halls of mental hospitals. Paul Stark was a technology whiz kid who rose quickly from obscurity to success. He then crashed into utter and complete insanity. In Washington D.C. Paul Stark handled contracts for the Federal Government worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He was a confidential informant to the FBI, negotiated contracts worth more than $100 Million, and grazed the power politics of Washington. He also spent years in and out of mental hospitals. This is a powerful and graphic depiction of mental illness. After a grotesque and powerful psychotic breakdown Paul was faced with the task of crawling back to sanity, a feat that many doctors considered impossible. In the ensuing years Paul proved the doctors wrong. He proved that a man with severe mental illness can still lead a meaningful life. In this book, you will not only read Paul’s story, but through it you will get an inside view of operations in a modern psychiatric hospital and the patients who pass through. This is a must-read for anyone interested in mental illness in general, bipolar and schizoaffective disorders in particular, the interplay of religion and psychosis, and anyone seeking to know how a person can make peace with a devastating illness and go on to live a meaningful life.

I have lived with mental illness all of my life. It propelled me into success but the severity has grown with time, eventually resulting in my disability. For more than 20 of those years, I have been in a relationship that never failed to rise above the illness and let love shine through. However, it did falter at times as my dear wife, Lynn, and I learned (by trial and error) what works and what doesn't. I looked and looked for resources that would help us through the rough waters in which we found ourselves. I found plenty of material, books, support groups, and such, for other relationships such as parent-child, but nothing that addressed the unique needs of a loving couple. I wrote this book to correct that. Lynn and I have been through the worst time and have emerged with a relationship that a strong and that supports both of us in living rich and fulfilling lives. Herein, I offer what might be called, "tricks of the trade." As I passed in and out of psychiatric hospitals I met many patients like me who had loving partners. They, too, struggled with the day-to-day management of their illness in conjunction with their partners. These patients suffered a variety of illnesses from depression to schizophrenia. I spoke to them at length about their relationships and how they coped, about what worked and what didn't. Some of these relationships were good, and sadly, some of them were not. Then, after interviewing couples from around the world I compiled this work that pulls no punches. It is nothing less than a survival manual. I tackle subjects as diverse from psychosis to suicide, from medication compliance to sexual intimacy, and many more. I address the most common problems and concerns of couples to help them live meaningful lives both together in a loving relationship and apart as unique individuals. I include many examples from Lynn and my lives. They show how we had our own difficulties too. At the end of chapters I include questions that you, as a couple, can discuss that will help you move through the difficult challenges of beginning mental health treatment. My aim is to obtain the highest quality of life for both partners in a relationship. Although my primary focus is couples, much of what I write is applicable to every kind of relationship where someone is supporting a loved one with mental illness, be that a child, a parent, another family member, or a good friend. People in general can benefit from Chapter 1 where I write about communication skills. The same holds true for Chapter 2 where I talk about psychological defenses. This is an important work that should be on the shelf of everyone who engages with someone suffering from mental illness.

The trachea is an integral part of the respiratory system. It is, or should be, visible on every high-quality chest radiograph. Frequently, however, the trachea is neglected as a source of disease by clinicians and radiologists alike. This book is the result of the author's special interest in this topic spanning 15 years. It deals with the major categories of disease involving the trachea, using illustrations to emphasize the crucial role imaging studies play in diagnosing disease in this organ.
