Bluebird:  Deliberate Creation of Multiple Personality by Psychiatrists by Colin A. Ross, MD.  
Manitou Communications, Inc.  Paperback.  ISBN 0-9704525-1-9. "Dr. Ross provides proof, based on 15,000 pages of documents obtained from the CIA under FOIA, that the Manchurian Candidate is fact, not fiction.  He describes the experiments conducted by psychiatrists to create amnesia, new identities, hypnotic access codes, and new memories in the minds of experimental subjects."

The Dark Side of the Light Chasers: Reclaiming Your Power, Creativity, Brilliance, And Dreams by Debbie Ford. Riverhead Books.  Paperback. ISBN 1-57322-735-8. "In this enlightening guide, [the author] explains how - consciously or unconsciously - we hide and deny our dark sides, rejecting these aspects of our true natures rather than giving ourselves the freedom to live authentically. Here she shows that it is possible to acknowledge and accept our so-called weaknesses--and that in fact, those qualities may prove to be important hidden strengths."
