This book is by a psychiatrist not afraid to reveal himself, to question the shibboleths of his profession while remaining a respected member within it. In his remarkable narrative, David S. Viscott gives a totally personal account of his training (from medical school through his own analysis), a provocative appraisal of traditional attitudes and techniques, and an insight into the human principles guiding his own practice and philosophy of psychiatry. -from dust jacket.
