Ross]], he was the co-author and co-editor of the 1995 book ''Pseudoscience in Biological Psychiatry: Blaming the body'', which harshly criticizes the field of [[biological psychiatry]] and its assumptions.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> While working at the Bronx Psychiatric Center, Pam read [[Jay Neugeboren]]'s book ''Imagining Robert'', which convinced him to try to treat Neugeboren's brother Robert, about whom the book was written. Pam disagreed with the consensus of the Center's staff that Robert could never live on his own. Shortly after Robert arrived at the Bronx Psychiatric Center in 1998, Pam told Jay that, shortly after starting to take [[atypical antipsychotic]] medications, his brother was suddenly ready to be released. Jay later credited Pam, among others, with allowing Robert to live without a psychiatric recurrence for over six years, "the longest stretch in his adult life."<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
