More About the Author

Iris Martin, M.S., University of Pennsylvania, is a globally recognized expert in transformational psychology. In 1985, she created a model for organizational transformation, and her global consulting company, Creative Dimensions In Management, Inc. assisted dozens of CEOs of Fortune 500 organizations implement transformations worldwide. Upon the sale of her company in l996, Iris created the Institute for Corporate Therapy, which licensed psychiatrists and psychologists in her consulting methodologies. She wrote the groundbreaking bestseller "FROM COUCH TO CORPORATION" which won the prestigious "One of the 50 Most Important Books in Psychology" by the American Psychological Association, and is required reading in psychology and business graduate programs worldwide.

From 1996 to 2000, Iris was a consultant to President Clinton and his Administration on the practical application of transformation to a wide range of White House initiatives, resulting in a publication detailing the transformational results of the Clinton Presidency and three documentaries. During that time, she was appointed to the White House Millennium Council as well as the Chairwoman of the Women Leadership Forum of the Democratic National Committee. She has also been a Board member of Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell's Finance Committee for over two decades, and a founding member of the Clinton Global Initiative.

Iris' first novel, "THE PRESIDENT'S PSYCHOANALYST" was optioned by Goldie Hawn's production company Cosmic Entertainment to be developed into a feature film, and Iris relocated to Los Angeles in 2002 to be part of the production team. She has written several screenplays which are in development as well as a Broadway musical based on Joni Mitchell's work. When she learned of the profound distress families were undergoing to due foreclosure, she turned her attention to MORTGAGE WARS: HOW TO FIGHT FRAUD AND REVERSE FORECLOSURE, believing nothing short of a global transformation is needed in the financial services industry.

Iris is currently living full time in Malibu, California with her four Labrador Retrievers. Her next book, "THE POWER TO TRANSFORM" a detailed guide for everyday people longing to transform themselves and their lives, will be available in bookstores in June, 2010.

1.0 out of 5 stars Can't I give zero stars? Finance book written by a therapist with zero practical advice, November 1, 2009

This review is from: Mortgage Wars: How You Can Fight Fraud and Reverse Foreclosure (Paperback)

In my opinion this is a book hastily put together with the clear intent on cashing in on a hot topic. This book is written by a therapist specializing in "transformation" who from her bio "is a luxury home investor who became interested in the mortgage meltown when she heard about homeowners in distress." There is almost no author provided content relevant to the title. I counted 90 pages of author content in a 334 page book. Much of that is therapy oriented - don't let it get you down, etc. The bulk of the book is "cases" which are complete reprints of legal filings and/or judicial opinions most with literally zero commentary. As an example, the chapters on RESPA (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) and TILA (Truth in Lending Act) - the primary applicable laws - are literally 2 and 3 pages each net of the "cases."

5.0 out of 5 stars Important information you are unlikely to find elsewhere, May 20, 2010

This review is from: Mortgage Wars: How You Can Fight Fraud and Reverse Foreclosure (Paperback)

Contains important information that is generally unknown outside of those involved in the loan securitization process in the banking industry. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants a better understanding of the mortgage industry and forces contributing to the financial meltdown in 2008-2009. Covers the extent to which certain mortgage bankers marketed, financially modeled and generated what were known to be problem loans upon origination; what happens to the promissory note after servicing and/or ownership rights are sold; forensic mortgage audits; a sample RESPA qualified written request in substantial detail; contingency agreements with attorneys; and recourse rights available to those desiring to remove liens on their home based on various court cases. Ms. Martin tells the story passionately and concisely. She is one of the few voices crying in the wilderness about how to counter mortgage banking methods of operation. While an advisor and friend to the Clintons, she presents the information in a non-partisan fashion with even-handed criticism of the Fed, the banks, Wall Street, Congress, mortgage brokers, appraisers, rating agencies, and the Bush and Obama administrations. She has done a good job in piecing together information that you will be hard pressed to find elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars political diatribe + mortgage foreclosure cases, August 29, 2009

By 

Qwester (midwest usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mortgage Wars: How You Can Fight Fraud and Reverse Foreclosure (Paperback)

The author's only contribution is the anti-Bush diatribe at the beginning. The Mortgage War parts are cases that can be downloaded from the Web for very little cost. Almost no critique of these cases. Very disappointing although the author's connection with the Bill Clinton administration might have been a warning.
