    About this ebook

    What is that (FLB) funny-looking bird? Is it a rooster? Is it a goose? Is it a duck? An eagle? Cest la vie, whatever will be will be. It is a bio-epigenetic outlier, and with the right structure support and stroking, it will manifest its alpha one destiny. Be him/her animal or human, like Sea Biscuit the horse, Balto the sled dog, Rudolf the reindeer, Gus the polar bear, Elsa the Lion, or King David, Beethoven, Lincoln, Churchill, Poe, Goethea successful outcome is achieved.

    This book is about real people professionally diagnosed with bipolar disorder who had the right stuff and the right people at the right time to manifest over time an alpha one mission oriented personality at the top. All individuals with mood swings had mood swings at one time. Some people with mood swings still have mood swings sometimes. No individual with mood swings has mood swings all the time. Individuals who do not have mood swings at anytime.

    In the treatment of bipolar disorder, one size does not fit all. There must be variations on that theme customized to adapt to changing seasons, ages, and environments. Successful treatment outcome is based on a checklist structure. There are no two snowflakes or butterflies alike. There are no identical twins alike, and there are no two bipolar personalities alike. Read the true life stories of the bipolar patients and their families who, for more than forty years, contributed to the research done in this book.

      Coc-goo-duc-gle.tif

      Coc-goo-duc-gle™

      que sera sera – whatever will be will be

      ™L.C. (is her name like Elsie) COC-GOO-DUC- GLE

      …Is a very special bird. She is one about whom few have heard. A funny looking hen that makes people gawk just to watch her walk. What part of the planet did she come from? Maybe a universe for exiled Mums? Where most things are not the norm, do not conform and appear at first to act very strange. And then however, suddenly rise above the range and soar off into the stratosphere .This nerdy bird turns funny looking Coc-goo-duc-gles into Eagles every time.

      She is as rare as a four leaf clover, growing slowly in white cliffs of Dover.

      Can’t figure her out. Yet without doubt, she is the best for making just the right nest.

      She lays her eggs one at a time, then patiently waits and on the right date out of that batch, one at a time each egg begins to hatch .The first one out, begins to crow cock a—cock- a. With a little booster, it may turn out to be Rooster. Another day passes and one more hatches, stretching a very long white neck picking and pecking and honk-a ,honk, honk. Lucy Goosey for sure. Do not leave yet, there are still 2 more.

      Next we see fuzzy wuzzy yellow webbed feet followed by a sound of quack, quack, quack. Has to be a duck to sound like that. The last one out is the oddest of all with eyes as big as a ball and a beak that make sounds like squeak, squeak, squeak, Please ma don’t let me fall."

      Like every good mother she is bonded like glue to her each and every hatchling. Birds of a feather all flock together no matter what the hue; a motley crew indeed. Each born imbedded with exactly what mother nature intended each to do.

      Coc-goo-duc-gle

      Rooster, Goose, Duck or Eagle, spread your wings and sing your song. Good people in the world will sing right along.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      This book is the product of the work of many people. I personally, over the past 40 years, have interviewed thousands of individuals. The study ended formally in 1998. I continued, however, my own professional follow-up.

      My first acknowledgment is to clinical nurses in Psychiatry. In 1966 this study began with a review of 485 handwritten charts on patients on the in-patient psychiatric wards of the Reiss Pavillion, St.Vincent’s Hospital in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, NY. It was because of these Palmer script legible notes that we were able to make an accurate diagnosis of each patient. The vivid description of the symptoms and behavior by trained, skilled nursing observers over 3 shifts, 24/7 for the years 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1968 clearly identified patients all of whome were psychotic who had affective disorder symptoms and different behaviors from those who were schizophrenic or diagnosed otherwise. The Sisters of Charity, nuns of the nursing profession who established and successfully operated the flagship of St. Vincent’s Catholic hospitals are known and revered the world over. I am especially grateful to Patricia LaSala, RN, Henrietta Bartunek, RN, all of whom have moved on to stellar accomplishments in their own right. There is another group of unsung heroes –caretakers who work side by side with the nurses 24/7 who see and know patients in many ways better than their doctors and families. These are the Psych Techs—the ward staff team. They need to be listened to, respected and paid accordingly. It takes a team of people inside and outside of a hospital (a village) to help one patient recover from a frightening psychosis to return to a productive stable community life. Included here are Priests, Rabbis, Ministers, Employers, Teachers, Volunteers, Neighbors, Friends.

      And on the first responder group are those known as House Staff, Residents in clinical training in their specialty. Over more than 30 years of this study, more than 400 Residents have spent some part of their training with our team. Many have made significant contributions to Psychiatry. I am grateful to have worked with them. I need to thank that sine qua non group without which nothing moves – the secretaries, the clerks, security guards, receptionists, volunteers, librarians and summer college interns. Thank you my wonderful secretaries over the years for both my hospital and private patients – Linda Davidoff, Maria Joseffer, Eleanor Devito, Harriett Sahim, Nilda Olivieri and Lisa Naylor. It helps also to have a compulsive obsessive librarian like George Gostas who can Dewey decimal and cross file from A to Z. Social Workers, Psychologists, Lab Technicians, Physicians of other specialties, EMT workers, running a hospital is akin to running a city. It is very easy for one individual to fall through the cracks of a huge impersonal system. St. Vincent’s in the Village was a family institution. Everybody knew somebody who knew what you needed to know.

      I am indebted to David Chowes, MA, patient, Clinical Psychologist, Psychology Professor, Baruch College/CVNX, Founder and Chair, MDSG/NY, Founder and Vice President, DBSA, for his constant oversight and advocacy of manic depressive community support groups. And let me not forget Beverly Cuthbertson Johnson, Phd, my Clinical Sociologist fellow who conducted the family therapy groups for the Bipolar patients.

      And finally – to those who have persisted with me over the years my heartfelt gratitude – Randy Cortez for his great Powerpoint computer graphics and my typed lecturers Rocco Iacovanni for his video historical documentaries and most recently – Spencer Casseus who is responsible for getting the manuscript to the publisher in useable form.

      No I did not forget the last shall be first – Debbie Cortez known to all since 1978 as First Mate my professional and personal C.E.O.. She is always the first on duty and the last to leave. She has kept me sane and honest and can manage anything, anybody with 2 legs or four. Thank you! If I have missed anyone’s name, forgive me, not my intent.

      It would be a grave omission were I not to thank Ron Klein, Director, American Hypnosis Training Academy for his outstanding personally led workshop of increasingly difficult levels of advanced certification in N.L.P. (Neurolinguistic Programming). This training has become the basic template for the Mayo Method of Life Coach Therapy.

      I am fortunate and grateful to have had an M.V.P—most valued player on my team for more than 25 years – Michael Murphy, MD., Psychiatrist, a former St. Vincent’s Hospital Attending Physician now in private practice whose object constancy as a friend and colleague has been invaluable.

      CHAPTER 1

      THE GREENWICH VILLAGE SETTING,

      NEW YORK, NY – A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT

      For well over a century, St. Vincent’s has been the hospital of Greenwich Village. As such, it is the ideal location for a psychiatric training program. The population of the Greenwich Village community is unmatched anywhere else in the world.

      Within the few historic blocks immediately surrounding St. Vincent’s, have lived and worked in astounding number of the most important figures in American cultural history. A partial listing only the major figures includes the novelists Edith Wharton, Henry James, Will Dean Howells, Willa Cather, Frank Norris, Stephen Crane, Mark Twain, James Fenimore Cooper, Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis, and Upton Sinclair; the short story writers, O’Henry, Edgar Allen Poe, Sherwood Anderson and Marc Crane, the poets, Edna St. Vincent Millay (names after St. Vincent’s Hospital), E.E. Cummings, and Louis Untermeyer; the playwright Eugene O’Neill; the journalists Lincoln Steffens, Max Eastman, and John Reed; the critic Van Wyck Brooks; the artist Samuel Morse, William Merritt Chase, John La Forge, Winslow Homer, Robert Henri, John Sloan, William Glackens, and George Luks; the sculptors Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Frederick Mack Monnies; the architect Stanford White; the great patron of art Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney; the actresses Katherine Cornell, Bette Davis, and Eva Le Gallienne.

      Today, Greenwich Village and its adjacent areas of Soho and Tribeca, continues to be the vibrant center of the creative arts in the United States. Every year it attracts thousands of established and aspiring artists, actors, musicians, designers, filmmakers and writers to its grand tradition and unparalleled cultural resources. The galleries of Soho display the world’s leading contemporary artists. The Village remains the main source of Off-Broadway theater productions, including the legendary Provinceton Playhouse, the Circle-In-The-Square, Joseph Papp’s American Shakespeare Festival and Public Theatre, and the Civic Repertory Theater.

      CHAPTER 2

      STATISTICS VS. PEOPLE: HIPPOCRATIC OATH

      First Do No Harm – Physician – heal thy self, Of course technology – new machines, equipment, procedures, state of the art skills and devices are critical to an improved advanced civilization. That is not the question. The question arrives at what cost to the individual is the greater good of mass produced technology.

      I asked a friend I had not been in touch with recently how his 86 year old mother was doing and he said she went to the heart doctor who had her worked up for increased shortness of breath, acute
