"ESCAPE" offers a compelling and insightful read for those individuals who regularly break the law and need to find proven methods of dramatically changing their ways and thus getting their lives back on track. Dr. Faber, a longtime adult and children's psychiatrist, believes the key to making a change of this magnitude is transforming an unhealthy brain into a healthy one. The book's purpose is to harness what has been learned so far in neuroscience, help rehabilitate these poorly functioning brains and create more whole, contributing citizens to society. Those who will benefit from the book include an individual who wants information to avoid further legal consequences and set an example for his family. Another potential reader may be a recently released prisoner who wants to figure out how to find work and develop constructive relationships. Lastly, should the reader be a criminal defense attorney, judge, parole officer, counselor, spouse, or other family member looking to give guidance, this book will serve as an invaluable resource. "ESCAPE" includes five chapters pertaining to scheduling, self esteem, sobriety, growing, and mentoring. Dr. Faber concludes each chapter with a series of exercises he hopes each reader will engage in as he believes these are a critical aspect of self-examination and the overall rehabilitation process. "ESCAPE" documents the "real life" stories of several individuals who turned their lives around after being mired in the depths of the legal system.
