Part memoir, part clinical insight, and part systems-based blueprint, The Stereotactic Self explores what happens when the human psyche is treated not as a collection of symptoms, but as a dynamic structure that can be understood, redesigned, and rebuilt.

What if your sense of self wasn’t fixed, but a living structure that could adapt, realign, and rebuild itself? The Stereotactic Self introduces a framework that reimagines mental health as a tensegrity-based system — one held together by dynamic forces like emotions, beliefs, identity, and purpose. Drawing from psychiatry, systems theory, and lived experience, Dr. Smith invites readers to see their inner world not as broken, but as adaptive and dynamic. The book is both a deeply personal memoir and a visionary model for those seeking resilience, self-understanding, and true psychological growth.
Entrepreneurs, Coaches,Executives, high achievers, Health & Mental Care professionals, or anyone interested in better understanding of the self.
Dr. Andrew Smith, MD, FRCPC, is an academic psychiatrist, clinician investigator, and assistant professor at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine. After nearly losing everything to burnout and personal collapse, he began to question the traditional models of mental health he had once practiced. His journey of reinvention led him to develop The Stereotactic Self — a framework that merges medicine, systems theory, and art to help others rebuild their inner worlds. He now works at the intersection of psychiatry, creativity, and design to reimagine how we understand, treat, and live with our minds.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org. Alli's "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies is an invaluable resource.
