I'm a psychiatrist/novelist. My novel: The End of Miracles, draws deeply from my experiences on psychiatric units and with patients. I also write regularly for, and have my own page, as an Expert for Psychology Today :
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/... Other articles have appeared in MariaShriver.com, The New Republic and Vogue.
I'm a clinician, scientific researcher and teacher at the University of Michigan's Medical School. Many of my scientific articles are about conditions related to women and reproduction, such as the first investigations of women’s reactions to the use of fetal monitors during labor. This interest in the psychology of women related to reproduction is at the core of The End of Miracles. So you could say that my work in my two professions: psychiatrist and novelist, are two sides of the same coin.
Another important goal in writing The End of Miracles was to portray psychiatric patients, the psychiatrists who treat them, and psychiatry in a realistic way. That's why I 'm so gratified that readers' reviews say it is not only "spell-binding" and "a page-turner", but also "illuminating".
