Produktbeschreibung
Fifteen-year-old Jason is in trouble... again. Exiled to the hallway after yet another class disruption, his abilities might be different than the ADHD and bipolar disorder he's been diagnosed with. It's tough for Jason to sort through the thoughts in his head because, he's beginning to realize, not all of them are his. Psychologists Mark McGraff and Cathy Sutherland take an interest in Jason's case, raising the possibility that Jason has a psychic gift. Though belligerent at first, Jason eventually warms to his sessions with Mark, challenging society's traditional approach to psychotherapy, the medicalization of mental illness, and Mark's true motivations as a therapist. As Mark grapples with a tragic past, Jason pushes him into uncharted emotional territory-until Mark has to face his own crisis. The Enhancer journeys through love, grief, misunderstanding, and connection, questioning mental health categories and our society's compulsive medicalization of the human experience. As Jason struggles with his gifts, we wonder whether the world can welcome someone like him-or if it's easier for us to deny such remarkable abilities.
