John McKinnon Book
"An Unchanged Mind"
Now Available

Dear Colleagues,

I write to tell you personally that at last the book I have been writing for years- About the struggle of troubled teenagers to grow up-has become available.
The process is longer than I had imagined. And so I have waited to let you know that I have learned the actual printed books actually had arrived at the Lantern Books' Warehouse. They are there. A copy now can be ordered on-line or by phone, and it will be sent to you promptly.

It's done!

I hope you will think it was worth waiting for.
Warm regards,

John

An Unchanged Mind
The Problem of Immaturity in Adolescence
By, John A. McKinnon, MD
ISBN: 978-1-59056-124-9
$23

An Unchanged Mind begins with a clinical riddle:
Why are American teenagers failing to develop normally through adolescence?
We are presented with case studies from a therapeutic boarding school for troubled teenagers: All new students had been deemed treatment "failures" after conventional psychiatric care. All were bright teenagers, full of promise, not obviously "ill." Yet they found themselves unprepared for the challenges of modern adolescence and inevitably failed-at school, at home, and among their peers socially.

An Unchanged Mind is the discovery of the essence of this problem- disrupted maturation and resulting immaturity. The book explains the problem carefully, with a brief review of normal development and an examination of the delays today's teenagers are suffering: the causes of those delays and how they produce a flawed approach to living.

There is a solution. With a sustained push to help troubled kids catch up, symptoms abate, academic and interpersonal functioning improve, and many parents pronounce their teens miraculously recovered. This remedy is not a matter of pharmacology - and the cure is not in pills. The remedy is, instead, to grow up.
