The Looney Bin (English Edition)

The Looney Bin (English Edition)

Step behind the doors of the enigmatic mental health clinic know as The Looney Bin where the healers struggle to heal themselves and where caregivers become the cared-for.
Meet psychiatrist Jack Rackham whose façade of self-control shatters after a haunting patient suicide wrenches him from his illusions of stability and thrusts him into a world of duplicity, disillusionment and alienation from the people and things he loves.
Other quirky members of the clinic's staff, each lugging their own baggage, daily navigate their own labyrinth of emotions and the blurred line between sanity and chaos as the characters of The Looney Bin either confront or bury their inner demons.
Enter the rigid religious zealot, Felicity Steele, hiding a deep secret behind her Bible, the rebel therapist Hester Snopes using Tarot cards and talking with the dead as therapy, the psychopathic sexual predator Maximo Hernandez, whom the DEA is watching. There's passive, timid Jim Bizby agonizing over erupting feelings for a seductive patient and doing the 'right' thing in his marriage to a shrewish wife. And last, there's the needy, self-absorbed Reginald Kingston-Smith, MD, clinic head, busy seeking reassurance from his massive office mirror and stroking his glistening handlebar mustache. Experts in the human mind, they're all on a precipice of a choice: to confront their hidden fears and self-doubt or perpetuate the lies they tell themselves each day.
In this character-driven, compelling psychological drama,The Looney Bin lays bare the fragile threads that bind human behaviors and relationships. Deeply buried, long-held secrets, tarot cards, exploitation of power and control and a clash between the perfect and the broken intertwine, demanding each member of The Looney Bin to change or to continue the illusory lives they’ve created.
Prepare for a mind-bending journey through tangled minds and unraveling truths in a story that exposes the raw, unfiltered intricacies of the human psyche.
