Dialogues In Metapsychiatry by Thomas Hora

These dialogues between Dr. Hora and his students are as fresh as the day they took place. They shed new light on what is real and what is illusory, and on such issues as our purpose in life, the good of life, affluance, ambition, anxiety, humility, freedom, safety and joy.
