Abstract
In this article, the writer focuses on 'An Unquiet Mind' by Kay Redfield Jamison. The writer points out that the author is a professor of psychiatry and psychiatric disorders at the highly esteemed John Hopkins School of Medicine, and that in 'An Unquiet Mind' she recounts her own experiences with what she refers to as a manic depressive illness. The writer discusses that patients suffering from manic depression tend to experience polarized behaviors, through which they experience wild swings in emotion.
From the Paper
"Forms of psychopathology within the adult can manifest in a myriad of ways. The impact that a mental illness or disorder can have upon the afflicted individual can take a wide range, and even the same type of affliction can affect different patients in different ways. This places a key emphasis upon focusing on the disorder within the context of the patient, as opposed to treating the disease according to standard or textbook care. This paper shall provide a literature review of Kay Redfield Jamison's 'An Unquiet Mind' (1995)."

From the Paper
"Jamison (1995) wrote of her life long battle with manic depressive disorder, which became a constant factor in the development of her life. A professor of psychiatry at John's Hopkins University, Jamison believed that by relating her personal experience with manic depressive disorder she would be able to assist others that suffered from the same condition and allow them to realize that there were alternatives to the upheaval in their lives. Jamison's (1995) obvious intention in creating the text was further to allow professionals and others that have been impacted by manic depressive disorder to comprehend the depth of the disorder and the extent to which it affects lives from a personal perspective.

Abstract
This paper reviews the book "An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and
Madness," written by Kay Redfield Jamison. It describes Jamison's experiences of a manic disorder and how the disorder affected her life. The paper also describes her discussions regarding the treatment options that were available to her and why she was reluctant to try some of them.
From the Paper
"When Jamison was diagnosed as a manic depressive she resisted being placed on lithium because she realized as a physician that the drug would alter her world. At the same time she believed that if she did not receive treatment she would most likely end up committing suicide, or falling into a state of manic behavior that she would not return from. Jamison initially resisted receiving medications and consistently attempted to convince herself and others that there were mitigating circumstances for her thoughts and behaviors that she would eventually put behind her. Yet, this delusional thinking was part of the manic state in her illness and her psychiatrist was persistent in placing her on medications in order to level out her moods."

Abstract
This paper examines two books by Jamison - "Touched with Fire" and "An Unquiet Mind." The main focus is on the latter book in which she describes suffering from manic depression over the course of her life. It explains that what makes this book unique is that Jamison is a psychologist who treats people with this disorder and her book provides great depth into understanding this condition.
From the Paper
"Jamison's ability to live fully within her limitations is an inspiration to her fellow mortals, whatever our particular burdens may be, and she clearly intends this book to be among other things an inspiration to those whose brains are configured in the same way that hers is while also explaining to the rest of us both something of the biochemistry and neurology of the condition. Both vectors in the book have the intended effect of demystifying and therefore making less frightening the syndrome."

Abstract
Adam Hochschild?s novel, "The Unquiet Ghost", attempts to answer how, thirty years after the Stalinist reign and political repression, Russians can confront the Stalinist past that was rewritten and repressed. This paper explains how Hochschild addresses three important issues in his novel: how Stalin literally rewrote history by destroying evidence, the spectrum of Russian reactions to the ?truth? of Stalin?s reign, and the Stalinist cause for the breakdown of Russian familial bonds/trust.
From the Paper
"In an interview with one of Stalin's translators, Valentin Berezhkov, Hochschild asks whether he was a true believer when he worked for Stalin. "Of course, we were very much indoctrinated" (112). Berezhkov felt this way despite knowing many officials who disappeared or were sent off to Siberia. Even despite fearing the loss of his job and even his life, Berezhkov remembers himself as a true believer. When Berezhkov was forced to leave, he could not understand how he could not be needed at all (112)."
