In its early form this book was a mess. That it ever became anything otherwise was the result of a few hardy souls who agreed to slog through it and offer their best ideas as to how it might be rescued from its wayward ways. For this I am deeply indebted to: Fuller and Barbara Torrey, Miriam Cotler, Jer Lynn, Betsy Arumi, Vanessa Taylor, and Dana Weston. To the degree the book is compelling and coherent, these friends and colleagues deserve a big slice of the credit.
Robert Taylor is a psychiatrist and author. He first became interested in the relationship between mind and body in medical school. After his training in psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine, it became the basis for his first book, Mind or Body (McGraw Hill, 1982) followed later by Psychological Masquerade: Distinguishing Psychological from Organic Disorders (Springer, 2000), now in its third edition. He has also published three other books Health Fact, Health Fiction (Taylor Publishing, 1990), Finding the Right Psychiatrist: A Guide for Discerning Consumers (Rutgers University Press, 2014), and Madhouse Blues (Argus Books, 2017)the last one, a novel.
He has also written over 50 articles such as: The Culture of Bureaucracy (The Washington Monthly), The Pseudo-Regulation of American Psychiatry (American Journal of Psychiatry), Everythings Bad for You (Republic Magazine), American Presidential Assassination (Violence and the Struggle for Existence), Beware of Health Hype (Readers Digest), and Psychological Hedging (Medical Opinion and Review).
His career in psychiatry includes training specialist at the NIMH and multiple health and mental health directorships. He was formerly an Associate Clinical Professor of Family Medicine (Stanford University School of Medicine) and a consultant to the U.S. Secret Service on presidential assassination. He has testified at the request of the U.S. Congress on national health insurance and has had substantial experience working in prisons including serving as Chief Psychiatrist at Mule Creek State Prison in California and providing consultation to two other state prisons, one of them the supermax facility at Pelican Bay (California).
The author has unique experience in the area of health media. In the 80s working as a consultant, he helped design the Mental Health and Health Promotion unit of the California State Department of Mental Health with its main focus on harnessing print and electronic media in the interest of wellness. He went on to serve as Executive Producer, writer, and radio voice for the PBS radio series, STAYING WELL (carried on 170 stations nationwide) and Executive Project Director of FRIENDS CAN BE GOOD MEDICINE, a California public health wellness campaign. In this capacity he was in charge of background research and collaboration with film directors, television producers, and scriptwriters as well overseeing the design of press kits for national distribution. He made two national television appearances on NBCs Today Show and had numerous interviews on local and national talk radio.
For the last several years, the author has spent most of his time writing and practicing psychiatry, including clinical assignments in New Zealand and Alaska.

Fixing blame is a delicate assignment.
Browning Ware
Based on the assumption that we all choose to do what we do, blaming is a deeply ingrained response to rule breaking. To the extent we blame, we cannot be empathetic. The idea that had we been in the exact same position, we would have done the same is excluded.
If someone knowingly and willingly breaks the rules, its on him or her. They are to blame and deserving of punishment. The greater the transgression the more severe the punishment.
Blame is our default response to rule breaking as is trying to avoid blame when we are the object. One of the oldest methods is to try and shift the blame by putting it off on something or someone else. Favorite targets include a menagerie of sacrificial animals, devils and daemons, and of course other persons. But the list of blame objects is virtually unlimited. Even eating utensils have been singled out to take the fall!
