Each chapter of Eccentric & Bizarre Behaviors is a fascinating psychological disorder with descriptions of case histories, the predominant explanations for the bizarre symptoms, and the best treatment options currently available for these patients.  Chapters were chosen not for their frequency of occurrence in the world, but for their inherent interest and uniqueness of the syndromes.  Examples include chapters on sex slavery, koro, Munchausen syndrome by proxy, vampirisim, savants, Stockholm syndrome, and trichotillomania.  This book is for the general interest reader and is written with a jargon free light touch.
