About the Book

In this book, the author/artist, with a doctorate in Disability Studies and a Masters in Clinical Social Work, offers practical knowledge and unique perspectives on the use of art as a tool for overcoming the emotional scars of psychological disorders. Through personal vignettes, the author sheds light on a concept derived from his doctoral dissertation, the Bipolar Impaired Self, a critical aspect of the self, which becomes impaired by stigma and the challenges of living with mental illness. The author's stories highlight the importance of acknowledging and nurturing the dignity and self-respect of individuals with mental illness. The book encourages readers to set aside assumptions and stereotypes about mental disorders and to open themselves up to the experiences and challenges faced by those living with mental illness. Ultimately, the author aims to inform and transform readers' understanding of mental illness and its impact on individuals, fostering a more informed and compassionate society, while providing practical ways for those with bipolar disorder and all mental illness to integrate their Impaired Self with a healthy sense of self, to live a more full and emotionally-healthy life.

About the Author :
David Feingold was born in Chicago, Illinois. He works in the medium of digital art to present the inner struggles of those with psychiatric diagnoses. His art brings awareness of the stigma and prejudice associated with all mental illnesses. Feingold has a broad education and professional background, which, along with his personal experience with bipolar disorder, influence much of his Art: a Bachelor's in Art Education, a Master's in Visual Design, a Master's in Social Work, and a Doctorate in Disability Studies. His work is represented in numerous venues, including National Public Radio, museums and art centers, professional journals, poetry and music collaborations, and inclusion in a permanent art collection of Universal Design Living Laboratory, an internationally-recognized universal design model home for architectural advancement. Feingold worked for 15 years as a visual designer and 15 years as a social worker. He had to take early retirement due to advancing cognitive impairments stemming from an auto hit-and-run closed head injury. The head injury was also the genesis of his seizure and bipolar disorders. He recently moved from his vibrant Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago, just blocks away from Wrigley Field, to be closer to his vibrant significant other in the northern suburbs. He says, however, he can still hear the Chicago Cubs' crack of the bat in his quiet moments.
