This Is Me, Is That You?

“The most moving book on the schizophrenic self that I have ever read. With tough-minded passion and creative intelligence, Dr. Poser takes us into the hearts and minds of the people whom he reached and who touched him.”—Christopher Bollas, author of When the Sun Bursts“The voices of schizophrenia are presented here without pathologisation, rendering the illness much less mad but no less disturbing as we recognise the deep well of suffering and terror it involves. An extraordinarily affecting and original book.”—Devorah Baum, author of On Marriage“Utterly compelling, a book all students of psychoanalysis should read.”—Adam Phillips, author of On Giving Up

Steven Poser is a practicing psychoanalyst in New York City and the author of The Misfit and Though This Be Madness. Since 2015 he has been a member of the Faculty Psychotherapy Conference of the Department of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai Hospital. He lives in Salt Point, NY.
