The Trump Card: A Psychiatrist Analyzes Reactions to Donald Trump Dec 11, 2017

by Colin A. Ross M.D.

( 3 )

$9.99

The Trump Card is a political satire, written in a style similar to Dr. Ross' previous book, The Great Psychiatry Scam. The Trump Card is based on the idea that Dr. Ross has added a new card to the Rorschach Ink Blot Test: The Trump Card. The book is not so much about President Trump as it is about attitudes and reactions to him. The Trump Card is an equal opportunity political satire and does not discriminate on the basis of political affiliation: Dr. Ross critiques both the left and the right. In America, he says, federal politics is now just one more reality TV show, and political commentators and the media are part of the show. This is very good for ratings, but not for the health of the country. Politics in America has deteriorated into an endless series of personal attacks, emotional reactions, and counter reactions, fake news, and behavior that would get an adolescent sent to the office. President Trump is a symptom of this problem, but the problem existed before his Presidency and will exist after it.

Human Energy Fields Aug 29, 2019

by Colin Ross MD

( 13 )

$4.99

In previous books including Songs For Two Children, Spirit Power Drawings, Northern Canada and Literary and Anthropological Studies, Dr. Ross has described the experiential and philosophical aspects of his study of human energy fields.

In Human Energy Fields, Dr. Ross proposes that the human energy field - called chi, the human aura, the life force, or the human spirit in different philosophical systems - and the electromagnetic field of the body are the same thing. Dr. Ross outlines applications of a new science of human energy fields in many different areas including anthropology, medicine, agriculture, weapons development, security systems, physiology, and psychotherapy.

As an example of the new science, he proves that an electromagnetic beam is emitted from the eye, and it interacts with the outside world. This energy beam could be used to activate a switch that in turn could be connected to any electrical device on the planet. Emission of any form of energy through the eyes has been disallowed by western science for hundreds of years, but it can be demonstrated with standard electroencephalogram (EEG) equipment. Dr. Ross proves this scientifically in Human Energy Fields.

The science of human energy fields unifies eastern and western medicine. It provides a method for studying therapeutic touch, acupuncture, kundalini yoga, and many practices in alternative medicine and traditional healing.

Military Mind Control: A Story of Trauma and Recovery Aug 29, 2019

by Colin Ross MD

( 11 )

$6.99

Military Mind Control provides a single case history written by Dr. Ross. Terese, a woman treated in Dr. Ross' private practice, is a survivor of childhood trauma that included paternal incest, ritual abuse and military mind control. The case history describes the therapeutic goals, tasks, strategies and principles that have contributed to her recovery, including the principle of therapeutic neutrality. It is a documented fact that victims of CIA and military mind control experimentation have been hypnotized, given hallucinogens, held in sensory deprivation chambers, given massive amounts of electroshock and subjected to unethical, inhumane treatment by psychiatrists. Therefore, although Terese's participation in a military mind control program is unproven, it could very well be real.

The Rape of Eve: The True Story Behind The Three Faces Of Eve Jan 10, 2018

by Colin A. Ross

( 15 )

$9.99

In the Rape of Eve: The True Story Behind the Three Faces of Eve, Dr. Ross provides a documented account of the exploitation of Chris Sizemore, the real Eve, by her psychiatrist, Dr. Corbett Thigpen. In 1953, Dr. Thigpen had Chris Sizemore sign over her lifetime story rights to him and his colleague, Dr. Hervey Cleckley: the tow doctors paid her $3.00 for these rights - one dollar for each of her three personalities. This was all the money she received for the best-selling book The Three Faces of Eve, written by Drs. Thigpen and Cleckley. The control and exploitation and abuse of Chris Sizemore by the author of her biography lasted from the early 1950's into the 1990's and ended only with Dr. Thigpen's death. The Rape of Eve is based on extensive background research and documents gathered by Dr. Ross, Chris Costner Sizemore and Jerry Naylor as they worked together on the book.

The Great Psychiatry Scam: One Shrink's Personal Journey Aug 28, 2019

by Colin Ross MD

( 20 )

$6.99

WINNER - in the category of Psychology at the 2009 Next Generation INDIE Book Awards! The Great Psychiatry Scam provides a detailed criticism of the profession of psychiatry, told from an autobiographical perspective. The critique expands on the analysis published in his book with Alvin Pam, Pseudoscience in Biological Psychiatry. Serious errors in logic, scholarship and standards of thought in psychiatry are exposed by Dr. Ross through humor, satire, autobiographical sketches and analysis. The field of psychiatry is not a branch of medicine in its current form. There is a posture of science, but the real substance of science is absent. Instead, psychiatry is dominated by folklore, anecdote and superstition. Fixing psychiatry requires two initial steps: acknowledging the state of the field, and devoting serious money and resources to mental health. Dr. Ross exposes the forlorn state of the field and proposes a solution, which can be found in his book, The Trauma Model.
