Download or read book Aurora written by Dr. Lynne Fenton and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling look at violence and trauma from the psychiatrist who treated mass shooter James Holmes, perpetrator of the infamous movie theater massacre. As an expert and speaker on mass shootings and gun violence, Dr. Lynn Fenton knew it was impossible to “spot a killer.” But when she met her new patient, troubled grad student James Holmes, the hair on her arms stood up. She feared he was going to kill. Yet she could find no way to thwart him. A few months later, Holmes struck: he entered a packed movie theater and opened fire, killing twelve people and wounding seventy; some were left brain damaged, several were paralyzed for life. Immediately the familiar debates reignited: The crisis of mental health access. More restrictive gun laws vs more “good guys with guns.” The morality of the death penalty. The legitimacy of the insanity defense. But what about the victims and bystanders whose lives would never be the same? Dr. Fenton’s memoir is a voice for them. Her inability to thwart Holmes’s mass murder made her a scapegoat and elicited innumerable death threats. Her chilling account provides an intimate look at her life before and after the Aurora massacre, as well as alarming insight into the sinister patient who called himself “fear incarnate.” With unprecedented access to thousands of pages of documents, audio and video recordings, trial transcripts, medical records, and notes, Aurora attempts to answer the question Holmes himself posed in his infamous notebook: “Why? Why? Why?”

Download or read book A Dark Night in Aurora written by Dr. William H. Reid and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Holmes killed or wounded seventy people in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. Only one man was allowed to record extensive interviews with the shooter. This is what he found. On July 20, 2012 in Aurora, Colorado, a man in dark body armor and a gas mask entered a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises with a tactical shotgun, a high-capacity assault rifle, and a sidearm. He threw a canister of tear gas into the crowd and began firing. Soon twelve were dead and fifty-eight were wounded; young children and pregnant women were among them. The man was found calmly waiting at his car. He was detained without resistance. Unlike the Columbine, Newtown, San Bernadino, and Las Vegas shootings, James Holmes is unique among mass shooters in his willingness to be taken into custody alive. In the court case that followed, only Dr. William H. Reid, a distinguished forensic psychiatrist, would be allowed to record interviews with the defendant. Reid would read Holmes’ diary, investigate his phone calls and text messages, interview his family and acquaintances, speak to his victims, and review tens of thousands of pages of evidence and court testimony in an attempt to understand how a happy, seemingly normal child could become a killer. A Dark Night in Aurora uses the twenty-three hours of unredacted interview transcripts never seen by the public and Reid’s research to bring the reader inside the mind of a mass murderer. The result is chilling, gripping study of abnormal psychology and how a lovely boy named Jimmy became a killer.

Download or read book Aurora s Dream written by Julie Ekblad and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-23 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My first book, “Brainbow,” was put together using family photos, as a therapy of sorts, to help me remember my life before my accident. My second book, “Aurora’s Brain,” attempts to bring the concept of the brain to the conscious level. “Aurora’s Dream” attempts to bring the important life concepts of senses, thinking, and learning to the conscious level for readers. Then it “zooms” in on the also important concepts of healthy, happy, and hungry. It is through research and therapy for brain-injured patients that breakthroughs in Neuroscience occur. With my simple understanding of how my own brain works, gleaned from putting my brain and life back together after temporarily losing everything I had ever learned or knew, I created a picture language that I call “Circlatin”. I used Circlatin to teach myself how to think again and make the many decisions necessary to reprogram my scrambled computer brain. I’m hoping that with Circlatin, wonderful artwork or a circle to go with each paragraph, and a few helping words from me that I can inspire elementary students to want to gain a better understanding of their own brains. Maybe they will want to reprogram their brains like Aurora did. Maybe after reading “Aurora’s Dream” they will want to learn to draw their brains, thoughts and feelings with Circlatin so that they can “see” what they are thinking before they think, speak and act. We can’t “see” our brains, or feel them beating as we can with our hearts, but our brain controls everything we do! “If we could build a computer that could do everything our brain can do, it would be as tall as a skyscraper!” Kathy Elgin, “The Human Brain”
