When a first-year medical student breaks his engagement, he's left questioning everything - his relationships, his career, and even his sanity. Turning to psychoanalysis, he begins a journey of self-discovery that shapes the rest of his life.
From awkward therapy sessions to a grueling psychiatric residency, he navigates a field where the human mind is both terrifying and hilarious. Along the way, he encounters unforgettable patients: The Man with the Microphone in His Ear, whose paranoid delusions blur the line between comedy and tragedy, an Air Force physician who refuses to serve, and patients who struggle with the same issues that he has.
As a private practitioner, and UCLA professor, Art Smukler, MD, balances the absurdities and wisdom of psychiatry with the raw humanity of his patients - and his own. With humor, honesty, and heart, you'll learn the highs and lows of becoming a psychiatrist, and get the tools you need to understand the unconscious part of your own mind.
Art resides in Los Angeles where for 40 years he had a thriving private practice and was an award winning faculty member of UCLA. As a psychiatrist in the US Air Force, he was chief of psychiatry at Forbes and Eglin. He attended Penn State University, finished top of his class at Hahnemann School of Medicine, his internship at the University of Pennsylvania, and his residency at Hahnemann and Harbor- UCLA.
