"Healing Runaway Minds" begins by using current research to illustrate that there is no pathophysiological or cause and effect evidence to support a disease or biological model for such conditions as schizophrenia, depression, mania, and ADHD. The book then presents a concise and easy-to-understand trauma-feeling model of mental illness, healing, and recovery. This book also presents a feeling orientated model of child development that can be used to help develop emotionally healthy children in today's complex, stressful society. In addition, "Healing Runaway Minds" suggests some major changes that need to be made in our evolving society.
