In the 19th century, when gender roles were more confining, the dominant forms of psychosomatic illness were paralysis and hysteria. Today, when people experience confusion about the abundant possibilities available to them, when all is permitted, the dominant complaint is fatigue. Edward Shorter's history shows how patients throughout the centuries have produced symptoms in tandem with the cultural shifts of larger society. He argues that newly popularized diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome are only the most recent examples of patients' ailments that express the deepest truths about the culture in which we live.

Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either upon falling asleep or awakening, temporarily experience the inability to move, and it is often associated with terrifying sensations. Sleep paralysis is known by many names across the world including “Old Hag Syndrome” in the west. Some claims it is caused by “Shadow People,” “Hat Man,” or various evil spiritual beings like demons. Some but not all cases of “alien abductions” or incubus and succubus attacks (spiritual rape) can be chalked up to a severe sleep paralysis episode. The author of this book claims to know how to do something that most sleep scientists say is impossible: to stop sleep paralysis for good. Chris White has helped thousands of people stop sleep paralysis through his nonprofit websites and videos, and has conducted one of the largest surveys ever done on the subject. This book is intended to be an overview of what sleep paralysis is, what causes it, and a detailed explanation of how to stop it. It also contains many personal accounts from people who have stopped sleep paralysis using the methods described by the author. "What you showed me worked." - Jonathan S. "The experiences have now ceased." - Douglas J. "You cured my sleep paralysis." Mike B. "It has not returned to this day! Thank You." Joseph S.

Sleep Paralysis explores a distinctive form of nocturnal fright: the "night-mare," or incubus. In its original meaning a night-mare was the nocturnal visit of an evil being that threatened to press the life out of its victim. Today, it is known as sleep paralysis-a state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness, when you are unable to move or speak and may experience vivid and often frightening hallucinations. Culture, history, and biology intersect to produce this terrifying sleep phenomenon. Although a relatively common experience across cultures, it is rarely recognized or understood in the contemporary United States.Shelley R. Adler's fifteen years of field and archival research focus on the ways in which night-mare attacks have been experienced and interpreted throughout history and across cultures and how, in a unique example of the effect of nocebo (placebo's evil twin), the combination of meaning and biology may result in sudden nocturnal death.

Humans throughout history have described a peculiar state between wakefulness and sleep during which they are consciously aware of their surroundings, but physically paralyzed. Sleep paralysis is also commonly accompanied by high levels of fear, feelings of suffocation, and hallucinations (i.e., waking dreams). Early interpretations of this event were that it was an actual attack by malevolent and supernatural entities such as demons, ghosts, or witches. Some of these beliefs persist to the present day in the form of nocturnal visitations by extraterrestrials and shadow people.Sleep Paralysis: Historical, Psychological, and Medical Perspectives offers the first comprehensive examination of sleep paralysis from scientific and cultural perspectives. Drs. Brian Sharpless and Karl Doghramji synthesize the many literatures while providing practical guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep paralysis. Included are medication suggestions and a new psychotherapy manual for mental health professionals. The result is a volume that illuminates the cultural, medical, and intellectual importance of this understudied phenomenon.

When Randy Oates finishes the 2007 River Cities Triathlon in a fast time, it seems like all is right with the world. Just a few months away from turning sixty-four, he sees retirement as a succession of blissful years to spend time with his wife, sail, run, cycle—and win more races. A few days later, a doctor diagnoses Randy’s postrace leg cramp as the result of a slightly bulging disk. But when the doctor turns a “routine procedure” into a tragic accident, Randy wakes up a paraplegic. And doctor after doctor tells him he will never walk again. This could be how his story ends. But it isn’t. Defying the odds, Randy chooses the challenging path of hope and rehab. And with a team of dedicated individuals—including therapists, personal trainers, acupuncturists, and the “Holy Trinity” of his wife, son, and best friend—he slowly moves toward the seemingly impossible task of putting one foot in front of the other. It takes a village to rebuild Randy Oates, and his candid account in The Healing Begins Today of the people, procedures, and perseverance necessary to win back his life will inspire readers to seek their own “village” to overcome obstacles.
