Download or read book Tales from the Wrong Side of the Couch written by Drew Bridges and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-02-22 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The training to become a psychiatrist is challenging and at times bewildering. Once trained, the practicing psychiatrist will continue to encounter people and situations for which he or she is not fully prepared. Some of these experiences are ultimately rewarding and show doctors and patients at their very best; others can overwhelm, lead to anger, or break your heart. All can be stories worth telling. Looking back on forty years of work, the author selects most of his “tales” to illustrate his own naivete and sometimes the shortcomings of his peers and teachers. Overall, this is a hopeful and respectfully entertaining book about those who suffer and those who try to help.
