Marvin RossMarvin Ross, had been writing books, newspaper, magazine articles and teaching business communications since the late 1970's.He has covered many medical conferences to report on new advances in cardiology, cancer, digestive diseases, respiration and eurology and psychiatry. His specialized services have been used to develop continuing medical education programs for physicians and to write summarizes of medical meetings. Bridgeross, his company, switched its focus from writing to publishing. It quickly developed interest from authors wishing to write about serious mental illness many of whom have submitted proposals. To date, Bridgeross has accepted and published a number of highly recommended titles in that subject matter - one by a mother discussing her fight to help her daughter; three by people with schizophrenia (an artist, a psychologist and a neuroscientist), one by a mother with schizophrenia co-written with her daughter and a memoir on a family of 10 working together to help a sibling with schizophrenia who died of lung cancer. Three of the Bridgeross books have been listed as among the top books on schizophrenia by US psychiatrist, E Fuller Torrey, in his latest edition of the classic Understanding Schizophrenia A Manual For Families. The three titles are Schizophrenia Medicine's Mystery Society's Shame by Bridgeross publisher, Marvin Ross, After Her Brain Broke: Helping My Daughter Recover Her Sanity by Susan Inman, and Dr. Carolyn Dobbins' What A Life Can Be: One Therapist's Take on Schizoaffective Disorder. Mr Ross, the publisher, Torrey describes as "one of the leading Canadian advocates for individuals with serious psychiatric disorders." Previously, healthyplace.com, an award winning metal health website based in San Antonio, listed 2 of the above 3 books as must haves for people with serious mental illnesses. Two of them are After Her Brain Broke and What A Life Can Be. The other is My Schizophrenic Life: The Road to Recovery From Mental Illness by Sandra Yuen MacKay. Sandra was named the Courage to Come Back winner in mental health in BC in 2012 and was one of the five Faces of Mental Illness in Canada. As a family member with a son with schizophrenia, Mr Ross has been blogging for a number of years on mental illness issues for the Huffington Post as well as Mind You. Read More Read Less
