The Naked Lady Who Stood on Her Head

Imagine coming face-to-face with a naked woman standing on her head, a man who wants to amputate his own arm, or a woman so desperate to have a baby her mind tricks her body into thinking she's pregnant.  Dr. Gary Small, respected psychiatrist and professor, has seen all this and more over the course of his career. He shares the most memorable and unique cases in The Naked Lady Who Stood on Her Head: a Psychiatrist's Stories of His Most Bizarre Cases, co-written with is wife, Gigi Vorgan.

Through the cases he shares, Dr. Small shows his growth and increasing confidence as a doctor. His diagnoses based on mysterious and bizarre physical symptoms are intriguing and the importance of good psychiatric care is well-illustrated. I enjoyed the balance of science and storytelling.
