Non-graphic art forms; Poetry

In the course of my long professional career as a psychoanalyst I have written about how mind works, about personality and self-development, dreaming, language, culture, destructiveness, psychosis and more. I have never thought of myself as a poet. Over the past half-century, emotions surrounding particular experiences have moved me to write poems. Recently I realized that I had accumulated 26 of them. They describe aspects of my journey through life. To my pleasant surprise, IPbooks has agreed to help me offer them to you.

Michael Robbins is a psychoanalyst and former Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. His extensive experience as administrator, teacher and consultant at McLean Hospital involved work with severely disturbed persons. Commencing with his first publication in 1969 he has eight books and approximately 50 articles in refereed journals, on such subjects as how mind works, psychosis, development, dreaming, language, culture, and human destructiveness. A few years after his first professional publication he began to express himself by sculpting in wood, and occasionally writing poetry commemorating aspects of his journey through life. Unlike the previous seven, this eighth book, an anthology of his poetry and sculpture, expresses his personal travels from middle to old age.
