Falling in to the Open fire is psychiatrist Christine Montross's thoughtful inspection of the gripping patient encounters which have challenged and deepened her practice. A lot of the patients Montross treats in Falling in to the Fire are seen in the locked inpatient wards of the psychiatric hospital; all are in occasions of profound turmoil. We meet a woman who habitually commits self-injury, having ingested lights, a box of toenails, and a steak knife, among other things. Her repeated goes to to a healthcare facility incite the irritation of the personnel, leading Montross to look at how feeling can interfere with proper care. A recently available college graduate, dressed in a tunic and declaring that love emanates from everything around him, is taken to the ER by his worried girlfriend. Could it be ecstasy or psychosis? What legal ability do doctors have to hospitalize - and sometimes medicate - a patient against his will? A fresh mother is accepted with incessant visions of harming her child. Is she psychotic and a risk or will she suffer from obsessive thoughts? Her course of treatment - and her child's future - will depend upon whether she receives the correct medical diagnosis. Each research study presents its own type of inquiry, leading Montross to seek relevant psychiatric knowledge from diverse sources. A health care provider of uncommon attention and compassion, Montross discovers lessons in medieval dancing plagues, in leading forensic and neurological research, and in occasions from her own life.

At once thorough and meditative, Falling in to the Fire can be an intimate portrait of psychiatry, allowing the audience to witness the mankind of the practice and the enduring mysteries of the mind.
