Dr. Jay Faber, Psychiatrist at The Amen Clinics, Publishes "Escape: Rehab Your Brain to Stay Out of the Legal System"

Dr. Jay Faber, an accomplished and highly regarded psychiatrist who has worked with thousands of adults, adolescents, and children over the past 30 years, has released his first book entitled “ESCAPE - Rehab Your Brain to Stay Out of the Legal System.” The book offers a compelling and insightful read for those individuals who regularly break the law and need to find proven methods of dramatically changing their ways and thus getting their lives back on track. He believes the key to making a change of this magnitude is transforming an unhealthy brain into a healthy one.

Dramatic advances in neuroscience, led by Brain SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computer Tomography) Imaging, are showing that not all men and women who have been on the wrong end of the legal system are bad people. Instead, they have bad brains; and those bad brains are leading to bad decisions; and those bad decisions are leading to bad behaviors; and those bad behaviors are leading to getting a “go directly to jail” card.

“The purpose of the book is to harness what we has been learned so far in neuroscience, help rehabilitate these poorly functioning brains and create more whole, contributing citizens to society,” said Dr. Faber, a member of the medical team at the Amen Clinics in Costa Mesa. “Rather than living in a sequestered 6’ x 8’ jail cell or hibernating in a dilapidated parolee group home, a significant opportunity exists to dramatically transform lives.”

Although the principles outlined in the book are simple to understand, they are quite challenging and difficult to follow. In the daily “grind” of life, Dr. Faber emphasizes this point throughout the book. In addition, he simultaneously inspires the reader to live life at a higher level.

Those who will benefit from the book include an individual who wants information to avoid further legal consequences and set an example for his family. A recently released prisoner who wants to figure out how to find work , develop constructive relationships, and stay out of further trouble will also find the book helpful. Should the reader be a parole officer, a counselor, or family member looking to give guidance, than this book will serve as an invaluable resource.

Dr. Faber hopes those who read and follow the recommendations of “ESCAPE” will successfully change their ways and live the rest of their lives far attorney offices, courtrooms, jails, and prisons.

“This book is a gem, said Dr. Daniel Amen, a leading neuropsychiatrist and founder of the Amen Clinics. “It can help improve our legal system and save families and lives.”

Available only as an e-book, “ESCAPE” includes five chapters pertaining to scheduling, self esteem, sobriety, growing, and mentoring. Dr. Faber concludes each chapter with a series of exercises he hopes each reader will engage in as he believes these are a critical aspect of self-examination and the overall rehabilitation process. “ESCAPE” documents the “real life” stories of several individuals who turned their lives around after being mired in the depths of the legal system.

The book is 251 pages, and it is now available exclusively at www.drjayfaber.com.
