Inhaltsangabe

This concise volume by one of the leading psychiatrists of our time is both a philosophical exploration of what it means to write in his chosen profession, as well as a collection of helpful hints and examples for those who wish to learn more about the chemistry between editing and writing.

In his own life, Jules Masserman moved from a career in psychiatry and neurology into the broader realm of social science. Similarly, this book starts with a series of vignettes and letters to and from colleagues in psychoanalysis and psychiatry, and then moves on to a similar chapter on social science. In the second half of the book, Masserman broadens his focus to include general principles for writers and editors in the sciences, pithy observations on content and style, and philosophical thoughts drawn from his years communicating with other social scientists abroad. Dr. Masserman brings a half century of experience as scholar, researcher, writer and editor to this guide.
