Dr Milad Shadrooh: The Whole Tooth / B

The Whole Tooth

Stories from The Singing Dentist guaranteed to make your smile better

I began to think about the forces at play, not just within me, but beyond me. What if my life hasn''t fallen apart in the way that it has because of ''treatment-resistant mental illness'', as I''ve been led to believe, but because of the treatment itself? At age thirteen, Laura Delano''s parents took her to her first psychiatrist. At school, she was the model student but at home she felt an uncontrollable rage that she unleashed on family, friends and herself. She was promptly diagnosed with bipolar disorder and began a course of psychiatric drugs. For the next fourteen years, , Laura became a ''professional mental patient'', collecting an expanding catalogue of diagnoses and living appointment to appointment. Prescribed a medication cascade of twenty-one drugs, she embraced the regime in the hope it would bring her stability, peace and treatment for what she''d been convinced was an incurable, lifelong disease. But as her symptoms got more severe and untenable, with each new drug always countering the consequences of the last, she was eventually deemed ''treatment resistant'', and began to wonder if the drugs and diagnoses were the cure - or had they become the problem? Weaving together her medical records and doctors'' notes with illuminating research, Unshrunk is a record of Laura''s battle to disentangle herself from the all-powerful mental health system. It was a decision that would require her to leave behind the only life she knew, to peel back the layers of diagnoses and drugs and discover her true self again: her ''personality, vitality, creativity, sense of humour; the simple state of being awake to the world''. Beautifully written, insightful and probing, it is both a moving memoir and powerful rebuke of the commercial psychiatric industry, which often does not seem to have the interests of its patients at its heart.

India: A Wounded Civilization

Irish Literature

Dead as Doornails, first published in 1976, brings back into print a true classic of Irish memoir.&nbsp;Anthony Cronin's account of life in post-war literary Dublin is as funny and colorful as one would expect from an intimate of Brendan Behan, Patrick Kavanagh l, and Myles na Gopaleen (aka Flann O'Brien); but it is also a clear-eyed and bracing antidote to the kitsch that passes for literary history and memory in the Dublin of today.&nbsp;Cronin writes with remarkable subtlety of the frustrations and pathologies of this generation: the excess of drink, the shortage of sex, the insecurity and begrudgery, the painful limitations of cultural life, and the bittersweet pull of exile. We read of a comical sojourn in France with Behan, and of Cronin's years in London as a literary editor and a friend of the writer Julian Maclaren-Ross and the painters Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun. The generation chronicled by Cronin was one of wasted promise. That waste is redressed through the shimmering prose of Dead as Doornails, earning its place in Irish literary history alongside the best works of Behan, Kavanagh, and Myles.

Dead As Doornails

'A powerful manifesto for women who long to walk alone – and safely – in the countryside' Dr. Sharon Blackie, author of If Women Rose Rooted
Why is it radical for women to walk alone in the countryside, when men have been doing so for centuries? The Hard Way is a powerful and illuminating book about addressing this imbalance, reclaiming fearlessness and diving into the history of the landscape from a woman’s point of view.
Setting off to follow the oldest paths in England, the Ridgeway and the Harrow Way, Susannah Walker comes across artillery fire, concern from passing policemen and her own innate fear of lone figures in the distance: a landscape shaped by men, from prehistoric earthworks to today’s army bases.
But along the way, Susannah finds Edwardian feminists, rebellious widows, forgotten writers and artists, as well as all their anonymous sisters who stayed at home throughout history. They become her companions over 135 miles of walking, revealing how much, or how little, has changed for women now.
'An urgent call' Guy Shrubsole, author of Who Owns England?
'A fascinating personal journey' Sophie Pierce, author of The Green Hill
'Thought provoking, rich and interesting' Andrew Ziminski, author of The Stonemason

Discovering the Women Who Walked Before Us

The Hard Way

These journals are a revelation, a road map and a gift to us all' TAYARI JONES, author of An American Marriage From the acclaimed author Alice Walker - winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize - comes an unprecedented compilation of four decades' worth of journals that draw an intimate portrait of her development as an artist, intellectual and human rights activist. In Gathering Blossoms Under Fire, Walker offers a passionate, intimate record of her intellectual, artistic and political development. She also intimately explores - in real time - her thoughts and feelings as a woman, a writer, an African American, a wife, a daughter, a mother, a lover, a sister, a friend, a citizen of the world. In an unvarnished and singular voice, she writes about an astonishing array of events: marching in Mississippi with other foot soldiers of the civil rights movement, led by Martin Luther King, Jr., or 'the King' as she called him; her marriage to a Jewish lawyer, partly to defy laws that barred interracial marriage in the 1960s South; an early miscarriage; the birth of her daughter; writing her first novel; the trials and triumphs of the women's movement; erotic encounters and enduring relationships; the 'ancestral visits' that led her to write The Color Purple; winning the Pulitzer Prize; being admired and maligned, in sometimes equal measure, for her work and her activism; burying her mother; and her estrangement from her own daughter. The personal and the political are layered and intertwined in the revealing narrative that emerges from Walker's journals.

Running for your Life

Snezana Wood might look like she has it all - a loving husband and four children, a degree in molecular genetics and one of the biggest influencer profiles in Australia - she's had her share of tough times. In this frank, inspiring memoir, Snezana reveals the good and the bad in her life and how she has learnt to embrace it all. Before she went on The Bachelor and met her now husband, Sam Wood, Snezana was a kid who helped her parents every day after school in their jobs as contract cleaners. She was a young woman who was told she couldn't pursue the career she wanted - to join the police force - because that wasn't a job for 'someone like her'. Then she was a single mother living with her parents so they could help her look after her daughter, Eve, while she worked full time and studied at university. And while Snezana has become one of Australia's most popular influencers, her life isn't all glamour and Instagram photoshoots. After having two daughters, Willow and Charlie, with Sam, she was pregnant with her third when everything went terribly wrong. As soon as daughter Harper was born Snezana was urgently transferred to another hospital, seriously ill, her life in the balance. But she fought to get back to her family and made it through. What makes Snezana beloved by so many Australians is that she is approachable and warm, but she doesn't sugar-coat the tough stuff. She makes the best of every day and in Untold, she inspires us all to do the same. 'A vulnerable body of revelations of rolling with the punches and rising from the ashes' WEST AUSTRALIAN
