"Shrink": On Becoming a Psychotherapist

The familiar mantra "Only in America" is exemplified in this inspirational book about the odyssey of a young son of poor uneducated immigrant parents. With nothing going for him other than the love and encouragement of his family, plus his own determination against great odds, he pursues an academic life. This leads to a medical career, ending finally as a Yale psychiatrist and psychotherapist. The twists and turns of his adventurous life are described with much humor, joy and wit.
