Losing It

The author, an American-Israeli psychiatrist, shares insights from sixty years in mental health, beginning with his experiences at Foxboro State Hospital in the 1950s. Each decade features imagined dialogues with social critic Michel Foucault, blending humor, wisdom, and emotional depth. The book serves as a reflective tool for mental health professionals, addressing unspoken challenges and offering conceptual analysis and suggestions for reform. It also provides an accessible exploration of Foucault's ideas, enriched by the author's diverse professional encounters.
