{"product_id":"after-shock-a-memoir-9781469113692","title":"After Shock - a Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of an adolescent girls survival following electric shock treatments to enforce compliance. In a stark narrative, the girl recounts dysfunctional family dominance that forces her to escape further brain damage, death or suicide. The story moves through her experiences as a child in an adult psychiatric hospital where the patient\/staff differences are often blurred. When disowned and disinherited by her dysfunctional family, she moves into adulthood, assumes a new identity, acquires and then loses a surrogate family through cancer, and becomes a psychiatric professional nurse, and ultimately achieves a Ph.D. in psychotherapy.Her professional life involved patient care, psychiatric training for psychiatrists and nurses, psychoanalysis, and sexual abuse by her own therapist. But there was always a need to cover up her early history and the daunting implications of possible brain damage from her early electric shock. She married a gentle physician, and with her own motherhood, found it imperative to go back to the memories and losses for a reconciliation with her past through successful treatment.The story is poignant, often funny, often gritty, and always compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53030470582551,"sku":null,"price":1213.44,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781469113692.jpg?v=1780998752","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/after-shock-a-memoir-9781469113692","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
