Encyclopedia of Mental Health - Facts on File Library of Health and Living
Because society emphasizes "everyday emotions and overall mental health," claim the authors, they wrote this book to define for lay readers terms associated with various problems, feelings, and treatments. Entries range in length from several sentences to several columns of text, and the book concludes with an appendix of organizations and a bibliography, both categorized by type of disorder or mental health concern. Though the effort to treat such common terms as anger, grief, and mood reflect the authors' regard for simplicity, entries on medicines and some medical terminology tend to be difficult to understand.

The Spirit Book: The Encyclopedia of Clairvoyance, Channeling, and Spirit Communication
The Spiritualism movement began in the mid-18th century and focuses on communication with the spirits of the dead. Followers believe that spirit communication occurs primarily through mediums, although non-mediums can also communicate through a variety of methods, including automatic writing or the use of an Ouija board. Spiritualism is currently enjoying a renaissance due in part to the public appearances of mediums such as John Edward and Colin Fry and the shared belief by a growing number of people that communication with the dead is possible, however far out of cell-phone range they might be.
