Program One: "Terror, Trauma and Healing: One Year Later"
In this hour, we look at the mental health of the nation. Guests include: world-leading trauma specialists Dr. Robert Pynoos, who is a professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and Co-Director of the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress, and Dr. Randall Marshall, who is a professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University’s medical school and Director of Trauma Studies for the New York State Office of Mental Health at the New York State Psychiatric Institute; The New York Times Op-Ed columnist Frank Rich; former first-lady and leading mental health advocate Rosalynn Carter; and documentary filmmaker Ric Burns, who is now adding a new episode to his already-completed mini-series about New York – a history of the World Trade Center. Commentary by John Hockenberry.

Program Two: "Ethics: A National Crisis of Conscience?"
In the days and weeks following the terrorist attacks of last year, Americans around the country joined together in grief, righteous anger, and patriotism. But over the past 12 months, we have witnessed one scandal after another -- Arthur Anderson, Enron, the Catholic Church, Martha Stewart, WorldCom -- capturing public attention and eroding public trust. This week we look at what it means to behave ethically and where some church and corporate leaders have gone wrong.

Correspondent Phillip Martin reports on an "ethical fitness" seminar at the Institute for Global Ethics, where Americans from around the country gather to talk about ethics. Dr. Goodwin's guests include Kim Clark, Dean of the Harvard Business School; Steven Pinker, professor of psychology in the department of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Father Robert Drinan, Professor of Ethics and Law, Georgetown University Law Center, Jed Emerson, a fellow at the Hewlett Foundation and a leading proponent of social responsibility in business; Mary Flood, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle who broke much of the Enron story; and singer-songwriters Suzzy and Maggie Roche perform their song "Anyway." Commentary by John Hockenberry.

Program Three: "Work"
Live to work, or work to live? Attitudes toward work are changing. This program examines our changing relationship with the workplace: new research, the use of consumer trends in advertising; the impact on customer service and a program in which retired senior citizens staff a production line.

Guests include: J. Walker Smith, president of the national market research firm Yankelovitch Partners Inc.; ArLyne Diamond, a corporate psychologist; Jess Bell, vice chairman of Bonne Bell cosmetics; marketing professor Christie Nordhielm of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University; and advertising executives Rich Silverstein of Goodby-Silverstein, Dan Sutton of Fallon and Cheryl Berman of Leo Burnett. With commentary by John Hockenberry.

Available now as a five-CD set, these one-hour programs are from the award-winning public radio series, The Infinite Mind,. These programs focus on the critical mental health issues related to last year's attacks, and the on-going crisis:

Program One: Terror: Trauma and Healing
Following the worst attacks in this nation's history, this program, which aired only a week after 9/11 examines how do we cope? How can we come to terms with the unthinkable? And how can we help our children through this difficult time?

Program Two: Mental Health in Troubled Times
A compilation of common sense, science and psychology on topics such as courage, altruism, trauma, grieving, group psychology, and anxiety from some of The Infinite Mind's best programs.

Program Three: Resilience
How is it that adversity can defeat some people, and bring out the best in others? In the shadow of the recent terrorist attacks on the United States, many Americans have risen to new challenge with courage and grace. This show explores what lets some people not only "bounce back" from disaster, but even gain in strength through adversity.

Program Four: How To Choose A Therapist
As tensions rise at home and abroad, more people than ever are seeking professional help. We hear from the nation's top mental health officials, including Dr. Steven Hyman, former director of the National Institute of Mental Health and Dr. Bernard Arons, director of the nation's Center for Mental Health Services. Also Dr. Susan Vaughan, an assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University medical school and the author of "The Talking Cure: The Science Behind Psychotherapy."

Program Five: A New 'Normal?'" Living with the threat of terrorist attacks, we wonder: is fear, anxiety and disorientation our new way of life? We all talk about “getting back to normal,” but perhaps this is it? “A New Normal?,” explores what we all can do to cope with our inner uncertainty, and, perhaps, strike a blow against terrorism in the process. As FDR said, “The only thing we have to fear … is fear itself.” The program also looks at how the nation’s mental health system is coping with this crisis.
