Acupuncture of the Mind

If you like psychological TV dramas like House and In Treatment -- you will love the book Acupuncture of The Mind

Julian Marcus, an ex-priest, is on the verge of mental breakdown. He's questioning religion, freewill, extraterrestrials and the meaning of his fractured life with unfiltered honesty. Julian's body, mind and psyche lay on the operating table. Sharp needles penetrate his pain points.

Ironically, Julian's new career puts him at the forefront of others psychoses. As a Transpersonal Psychologist, a.k.a. Mind Specialist, Julian fumbles around his small clinic giving clients a dose of reality that other professionals simply couldn't, or wouldn't, offer. He is usually the beginning and end of their sanity. His beautiful intern, Bliss Stone, is challenged by Julian's eccentric ways. She views him as a mentor with superhuman wisdom, as well as an unhinged, charmingly arrogant, lost soul.

Julian's delusions, visions and epiphanies are recorded in his deeply philosophical journal. Episodes of Bleedthrough, a synergy of automatic writing, sleep paralysis and alien contact, are also documented. As Julian's eccentricity grows, he is becoming further disconnected from this reality.

Can Julian's mental disturbances awaken true clarity?
