With his psychiatric institute abruptly closed and his career in shambles, Dr. Percival Shieling recounts the tales of his most fascinating and extreme cases. From an exiled king, to a paranoid romantic; from a teenage runaway, to a Catholic contemplative; from a mysterious prophet, to a self-made ultra-millionaire; Dr. Shieling has seen them all and treated them all. Now the secrets of his heterodox methods are exchanged like contraband among novice head-shrinkers on university campuses while the doctor's colleagues have abandoned him and the medical professionals scoff.
