Gathered like flotsam from an ocean of experience, Bits and Pieces of a Psychiatrist's Life is a memoir told in thought-provoking essays, poems, short stories, and scientific articles chosen for lay readers. An innovative format provides thirty-one pieces covering personal and professional themes which include "bits" of differing lengths and styles. Barry Blackwell creates a mosaic from some of the most exciting moments in the history of psychiatry and melds them in kaleidoscopic fashion with his various professional and personal roles.
