Description:	William J. Ronan, a licensed independent clinical social worker, examines the facts of Elvis Presley's journey on Earth to reveal the truths of the legendary rocker's life and the root causes of his death in Psychological Autopsy of Elvis Presley, subtitled The Elvis Analysis: The Role of Suggestion in the Etiology of Psychosomatic Disorders. No one can escape the legacy of Elvis' celebrity, but Ronan uses the full resources of his profession to forge beyond the well-known facts and the irrepressible hype. Ronan presents a set of psychological circumstances of Elvis' death--self-image, relationships, the death of his mother and twin brother, and his own morbid feelings before he died. The author relates these circumstances to several case studies and adds layers of analysis from hypnotherapy, traditional psychology, and biomedical ethics. In so doing, Ronan forces the reader to consider the sheer psychological force that core beliefs play in creating and re-creating lives, and in dooming others to an early end. The book is a journey fueled by facts and original thinking that lead the reader to unexpected revelations. (description from the 2011 hardback edition) Source: Amazon.
