BETRAYED BY SELF plunges the reader into the untamed world of psychiatry through the accounts of a psychiatric resident as he struggles amidst four years in the trenches of mental illness. A unique viewpoint told through the eyes of an unlikely doctor who often has more in common with his patients than his colleagues. These accounts provided by a man who rose from homelessness, and overwhelming odds, to fulfill an implausible journey of discovery. In abandoning his attempt to fit the mold of the traditional physician, he uncovers a significant capacity to connect with those who have been all but rejected by traditional medicine. Thrusting headfirst into stories of suffering, he reveals the possibility for empathic understanding while caring for those stricken by psychosis, all while struggling to maintain his own sanity within the added strain of psychiatric residency. This book recounts experiences as raw as they occurred in a behind-the-curtain look at doctors in training and the tragic, fascinating, and often painfully intriguing stories of the patients they encounter.

Dave Mitchell's family is shaken to its core when an illicit affair with his secretary, a woman twenty years his junior, results in a pregnancy. Dave has fervently sought redemption from God, but his troubles are far from over. His wife, Madeline, vows never to forgive him for selfishly destroying their family. Constant images of betrayal shove Madeline into divorce court, where the division of property ignites a nasty battle over the controlling interest in DMI, the multi-million dollar family business. She wants more than Dave can give and refuses to settle for less than thirteen years of marriage warrants. Madeline is determined not to lose again. Although the marriage is over, their professional bond can't be broken. She ends up with a seat on the board of directors and an executive office down the hall from Dave. Once the dust settles and the divorce is finalized, Dave accepts the consequences of his decision as irrevocable. His family is gone, but he remains certain that God has a plan for him and DMI. He's prepared to move on, but Madeline is enraged by Dave's persistent sense of peace and his ongoing connection with Sherry, the woman who ruined their lives. Madeline becomes unhinged, tormented by her pain, and obsessed with righting a terrible wrong. In the midst of all this chaos, Dave and Madeline's children are suffering. When an unspeakable tragedy occurs, they're forced to look at their individual contributions to this web of drama. Unless the Mitchell family learns the true meaning of unconditional love, the power of forgiveness, and God's amazing grace, they could be stuck on this tragic path for years to come.

More than one in six boys in the United States is sexually victimized by the age of 16. Yet in the growing professional literature on child sexual abuse, few books focus specifically on the experience of victimized boys and men. This much-needed volume examines how sexual betrayal affects boys and the ways they carry this hurt into adulthood. Blending psychoanalytic understanding with insights from trauma-oriented theory and practice, Richard B. Gartner presents effective strategies for meeting the unique therapeutic needs of men with sexual abuse histories. Filled with evocative clinical material, the book draws readers into the direct experience of these clients, the therapists who work with them, and the constantly shifting relational world they inhabit.
