Synopsis
Dan Shapiro, clinical psychiatrist who himself suffers from a debilitating disease, writes about a suicidal obstetrician who is racked with guilt about a mistake she made years before: she delayed making a decision about a Caesarean, and as a result the baby contracted cerebral palsy. Shapiro describes the long but successful process of therapy, including in the process his own emotional reactions to the woman's plight.

Industry Reviews
"Telling much of [the] story as though it were being spoken by a patient in therapy, Shapiro gives it a vivid and compelling immediacy. No need to be either a doctor or patient to appreciate the situation, but this revealing narrative of self-discovery will have a special appeal for therapists."
