Semrad. The Heart of a Therapist

8vo; original brown cloth; laminated pictorial dustwrapper very slightly rubbed; hand-stamp on front free endpaper; pp. 206. Very good condition. The Boston Globe newspapercomments on Semrad's influence, and his belief that "failure in love brings people to [the psychiatrist] and only some success in love will send them away again." The genius of Elvin Semrad "bloomed in personal situations: when he sat with a patient, a student, or a group, made heart to heart contact, and shared an occasional comment. This is the Semrad remembered, loved, and respected by generations of colleagues and students: Semrad the gifted clinician and teacher." This book is a compendium of Semrad's opinions on such subjects as the body, feeling, love, men and women, leaving home, marriage, work, belief, decision making, etc.
