Rick Moskovitz is a Harvard educated psychiatrist who taught psychotherapy and spent nearly four decades listening to his patients tell their stories. After leaving practice, he in turn became a storyteller, writing science fiction that explores the psychological consequences of living in a world of expanding possibilities.

His Brink of Life Trilogy begins with the quest for immortality in the mid-21st century and concludes with a search for the origin of human life. In Shared Madness, he returned to his roots as a psychiatrist to write a first person tale of a psychiatrist who, while treating a psychotic patient, descends into madness and finds himself at the nexus of a deadly mystery.

Alligator Alcatraz - A Cruel and Shortsighted Idea

Governor DeSantis is building a detention facility for migrants in the middle of the Florida Everglades that will have a 30 square mile footprint in these wetlands. I’ve watched Fox News personalities exult at the brilliance of this plan and the horrors that migrants would experience if they tried to escape. The cruelty of the plan and of the people who cheer it exceeds the cruelty and persecution

Quotes by Rick Moskovitz (?)

“If the abuser is a parent or caretaker, the abuse may be the most attention the child has had from that person. To the child, withholding attention can be a powerful form of coercion. Sexual molestation may be accompanied by physical expressions of affection that are sometimes the only affection the child receives.”
― Rick Moskovitz, Lost in the Mirror: An Inside Look at Borderline Personality Disorder
