I am a psychiatrist and ethicist affiliated with SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY; and Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston. I write on a variety of cross-disciplinary topics, ranging from mental health to philosophy of mind to spirituality. I have also authored the novella, "The Late Life Bloom of Rose Rabinowitz;" and the poetry chapbook, "The Myeloma Year." My recent books include, "Don't Worry – Nothing Will Turn Out All Right!", and "You Must Know Everything!" My novella, "The Shepherd of Lost Children", has been released via Kindle Direct Publishing/Amazon. My latest non-fiction work, "The Madonna, the Skull, and the Carnival" is available via Amazon.
