A Goodreads user asked Suzanne Young:

Did you have to do any psychology research to write about the pills in The Program and the lobotomies in The Treatment?

Suzanne Young Both, actually. For The Program I did research on treating PTSD and spoke to doctors about medication that could cause some of the reactions in the story. For The Treatment I researched our country's history with lobotomizes patients and mental illness.
