One hundred (and one) tales to mark Salman Akhtar's one hundredth book!
Divided into eight informative parts - Dr Akhtar's journey to psychoanalysis; the lessons he learned from his teachers, supervisors, and mentors; the teachings from his peers and colleagues; the benefits of clinical work; the impact of cultural difference; insights gained from students, supervisees, and audiences; his experiences of writing, editing, and publishing; and advice for those about to take their first steps - each section is packed full of incredible advice lightly given in a series of engaging anecdotes.
Stories such as Streaking in New Jersey, Indian miniatures and Jackson Pollock, It's not the mother always!, 'The spider is a poem', A centipede and a giraffe, A good reason not to have sex?, An act of genuine empathy, On being Jewish and Catholic at the same time, Mrs Klein might disagree, and, of course, Cricket.
