In the course of my long professional career as a psychoanalyst I have written about how mind works, about personality and self-development, dreaming, language, culture, destructiveness, psychosis and more. I have never thought of myself as a poet. Over the past half-century, emotions surrounding particular experiences have moved me to write poems. Recently I realized that I had accumulated 26 of them. They describe aspects of my journey through life. To my pleasant surprise, IPbooks has agreed to help me offer them to you.
