Every society has those who do not quite fit in. But there are some that we try our best toactively ignore, unless they cause some blatant disruption to our lives. Who notices the hoarder, closedup in their homes, until ordered to vacate due to fire hazard? Who cares that an arsonist, onceconvicted, is sent to a prison rather than psychiatric care? Who bothers to see the homeless, sleepingunder awnings because they don’t believe they are safe elsewhere?In this collection of short stories, Dr. Lawrence Matrick draws our attention to those fringemembers of society who suffer from character disorders, some to the point they are shunned by all buttheir closest relations. Through the fictional stories of those such as Gilbert, the arsonist, or Elsa, theMunchhausen patient, experience the trials they, their families, and their communities undergo due totheir mental distress.After each tale, you have the opportunity to learn the psychiatric facts of each condition and therecourses available from a professional psychiatrist, Dr. Lawrence E. Matrick. Join him in raisingawareness of those living with character disorders in our communities, for even they need someone tocare-and someone to love. 3
