BookSurge announces the publication of Evolution of a Psychiatrist, by Kenneth J. Headen, M. D.

According to Dr. Kenneth Headen, seasoned psychiatrist, proper maintenance and nurturing of the mind, body, and spirit is the ultimate goal of psychiatric intervention. Without this balance, it is increasingly difficult for us to achieve happiness and spiritual harmony in our lives. In Evolution of a Psychiatrist, Headen surmises that as a species, we have yet to evolve and master the chaos and lack of unity in our lives, though this evolution becomes increasingly more feasible through the practice of proper psychiatry.

Dr. HeadenÂ’s book, which carries a significant spiritual tone, will help the reader to understand both the beauty of a healthy mind, body, and spirit, and the necessity of free will and trial in our lives. The psychiatrist, with his extensive training in the physical and mental aspects of the human species, is the logical facilitator of a healthy existence.

About the Author

Growing up in rural North Carolina during the sixties created the perfect setting to begin molding a future African-American Psychiatrist. For Kenneth Headen, the journey began in Chatham County during the days of corporal punishment and segregation. During his time at Winston-Salem State University, Headen was surrounded by an overwhelmingly black student body. Four years in the integrated workforce as a Medical Technologist set the stage for entry into the professional world. The real transformation began in late 1986 at the University Of North Carolina School Of Medicine.

Ken's life ultimately developed upward momentum as much of the negative weight was traumatically filtered from his personality forever. A glimpse of the future began during a third year student clerkship in Psychiatry at Dorothea Dix State Mental Institution. He trained as a Resident Physician in Psychiatry at UNC after medical school, before beginning a career as a Psychiatrist in Burlington, N. C. at Alamance County Mental Health Center in 1996. Through that affiliation he eventually began a private practice, also continuing service to under-served patients in the community, a residential treatment facility, and the County Jail in the State Capital of Raleigh, NC.
