What seems like decades ago, before I got realistic about having a feasible career in something I was competent, my formative intellectual development happened at UCLA. Of course, "decades" is only about 8 years ago, and the memories are starting to fade into a sepia pastiche of fuzzy edged recollection. I did not have a car during my undergrad years at UCLA (not even a license, actually). My daily commute in my last year involved a long walk from the campus, down Westwood Ave. and to Wilshire, where I caught the first Red Line out to Miracle Mile. It was a time of discontent and disorganization in my professional pursuits, but an annus mirabilis for me nonetheless - from a personal, humanistic level, I think I developed the most from those months. One of my memories was passing by the UCLA Semel Institute, which occupied a prime spot next to the new research center and across the street from the hospital. Dr. Gary Small was and is the head of the Institute, and does incredible work with human behavior and motivations from a psychiatric viewpoint. He has a few scholarly works to his credit but he is well known for his popular works as well. His latest includes some wry commentary, scientific education for the layman, and even some philosophy of the mind. The book starts out with Dr. Small's memoirs of his early days in his medical internship and psychiatric residency. He developed into a great psychiatric researcher in Los Angeles (where he still remains). Pretty quickly, however, the topic turns to the weird cases he has seen over the years. They are largely presented in chronological format but the stories are pretty memorable: a hypoglycemic who was mistaken for a schizophrenic, or the various housewives with neuroses that show up in his office. The tales are not focused on drug therapy all the time; incidentally, that is preetty much *all* that psychiatrists do nowadays, and they leave the talk therapy for the therapists. Most of his anecdotes focus on the patient first, then the countertransference that the psychiatrist inevitably experiences as well. It is a good mix and an intriguing read, but not exactly completely absorbing. The lack of pure science behind psychiatry sometimes gets me down on the specialty. Dr. Small has his moments of introspection, though: "We spend years of our lives in school and college studying any number of topics, yet the idea of taking a few hours to study ourselves seems foreign to many." Clearly there is much more to be done and there is a long way to go.
