1. Teach Us To Sit Still
A Sceptic's Search for Health and Healing
A candid, tightly observed memoir about a parent’s desperate effort to understand and help a child crippled by anxiety and panic, following the family through diagnoses, therapy, medication and the bewildering world of modern psychiatry while probing cultural and psychological forces that make it hard to sit still; part personal narrative, part cultural criticism, it wrestles with questions of care, responsibility and whether contemplative practices or clinical interventions can restore calm.
