Originally published in 1951 and co-written by screenwriter Lowell S. Hawley, this is the autobiography of American psychiatrist, Dr. James T. Fisher. It is the story of Dr. Fisher’s life and of his experiences, and seeks to portray his philosophy.

“I am, I believe, one of the few laymen who has ever sat quietly taking notes and asking questions, while the psychiatrist lay on the couch giving voice to his thoughts at random.”—Lowell S. Hawley (Foreword)

“As readable as a primer and as interesting as a Kinsey Report.”—Memphis Commercial Appeal

“This warmly human and humorous autobiography offers an easy, delightful and intelligent introduction to psychiatry, from the practicing psychiatrist’s point of view…a most engrossing book.”—Cincinnati Times

“It is unlikely that laymen could find anywhere else such lively and enlightening explanations of schizophrenia, manic-depression, paranoia, the significant of Freud, the technique of analysis, the uses of hypnotism and the meaning of dreams….And all these matters are expounded with colloquial informality, with salty humor and with interest and highly condensed case histories.”—Orville Prescott, New York Times
