Bohmian Mechanics Introduction

Greetings:

A while back, I was introduced to something which I believe was called
Bohmian Mechanics (I think?). The whole idea of Bohmian mechanics was to
have an auxiliary function that somehow helped solve the Schroedinger
equation. The example that I saw was the solution to the Harmonic
Oscillator, and I believe the auxiliary function was F(x) = x.

This was a long time ago before I had ever taken a quantum mechanics class
so I didn't realize how powerful this was.

I was just at the Barnes & Nobles and found "Quantum Mechanics" by Bohm (!)
but didn't have any reference to this technique.

Are there any good books out there that covers Bohmian mechanics in more
depth?
