Update on the books

Given the amount of time, energy, and money I wasted away to get the books out, of course I would prefer everyone to buy all my books in the series, read them all; get something out of them; and spread the words. However, based on the information I gathered so far, only limited number of people have started the reading process. Oh oh ....


By the way, before you buy books, you might want to check out the content. With Amazon.com, you have the choice of either downloading a sample kindle book or click on "Look inside" to preview a segment of the book using the browser.

My psychotic books and learning/teaching

Who is your audience? I have been asked about this question a gazillion and a times. Anyone could be the audience of my psychotic books.

The question I have in mind nowadays is "how can my psychotic books be used as supplementary teaching/learning materials?" Following is an example.

Broadened Horizons: On Psychotic Onsets--Basic level. This book is suited for introductory courses such as Abnormal Psychology or psychopathology at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Blows: Polar Express to Club Meds (aka Psychiatric Ward)--Basic+ level. This book is suited for readers with a basic understanding of or interest in psychopathology and qualitative research.


Ratology Evolutions: My Psychotic Mental Model of My Psychosis--Higher level. This book contains quite a bit of jargons and it would work best for readers with or would like to have an understanding of developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, and neuropsychology.


Ratology database: My Psychotic Discourse (Abridged)--Basic level. This book contains my writings from the onset to my third hospitalization. The contents could be used for training in qualitative research with real-life data. An example project would be the book "Blows: Polar Express to Club Meds (aka Psychiatric Ward)."
