  I know you aren't asking for opinions, but I just can't resist.
  Dr. Jerry Bergman is the author of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND THE PROBLEM OF MENTAL ILLNESS.
  It does seem to be over $100 at Amazon.

  I attended some sessions of BRCI in Illinois and Jerry Bergman spoke at one about how evolution is impossible. Rather than spend a whole thread telling you how much I disagreed with him, and why I wouldn't spend even $20 on a book written by him, this article can demonstrate what's wrong with his thinking:

  http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Jerry_Bergman

  To be fair, it seems that this book was written when Dr. Bergman was an active JW, and there might be other reasons beyond agreeing with him or enjoying his way of thinking that a person might want this book. But it does seem that Jerry has abandoned JW's without examining his deep-seated "Young-Earth-Creationist" beliefs.

  Good luck to you.

  Jerry Bergman's "research" on mental illness among Jehovah's Witnesses is quite possibly one of the shoddiest pieces of opinion masquerading as respectable "findings" that I have ever read. And I speak as an individual who has a double major in Sociology and Psychology, a Diploma in Clinical Psychology and a PhD.

  Don't waste either your money or the paper.

  There have been some excellent threads in this very forum on Bergman's (aka Montague's) "research".

  BTW, I do not dispute that mental illness exists in JW ranks. My beef is entirely with Bergman's opinions on the topic.
