Beyond Bedlam’s Door reviewed on Cyberlibrarian
Beyond Bedlam’s Door was reviewed by Miriam Downey on her blog, the Cyberlibrarian. In her review, she writes:
What I particularly like about Rubinstein’s storytelling is that the 21 stories in the book are about very interesting people, each with his/her own unique story, each with a unique problem for which they have come seeking help. Sometimes it takes a very brave person to say, “I need help in thinking this problem through.” or “I can’t solve this on my own.” The afterword in each chapter is as important as the story itself. Rubinstein never denies, in any way, the humanity of his patient.

I’m intrigued by the reality of how much influence one person has over another. This book explores and shows how loved ones can knowingly, and unknowingly, hinder another person’s ability to master his or her own mental condition.

Mark Rubinstein on How to Start Writing
Beyond Bedlam’s Door reviewed on Mrs. Reads Books
Shannon of Mrs. Reads Books reviewed Beyond Bedlam’s Door. In her review, she writes:
I found the book to be very interesting, just as I did Bedlam’s Door, and enjoyed reading the wide variety of cases involved. These are the one only two books I have read where the case studies have been written directly from the psychiatrist who treated the patients. The author states in his bio on Goodreads that “Every patient has a story to tell,” and that is how these books are written, with each chapter telling a unique, interesting and individual story.
