| Summary |
This book honors Paul Mosher and preserves for history the man and the work that he did to transform American psychoanalysis for the 21st century. It contains Paul's Civics Lessons, his amicus brief in the Jaffee Redmond case, his influential paper with Arnold Richards on membership and certification and other samples of his work. Paul's lifelong interest in technology and his keen scientific mind were instrumental in bringing psychoanalysts into the computer age. His knowledge and his proposal to digitize the entire psychoanalytic literature brought about PEP, which made that literature available with a stroke of a finger, and this book also tells that story. In his own words, Paul relates fascinating episodes from his childhood that shaped his life and work, his experience with LSD, and the development of his interest in computers. Important personal reminiscences by friends and colleagues augment Paul's story, and explain how his participation brought about his extraordinary influence on the evolution of APsaA's governance and its finances. It also includes several beautiful examples of his photographic and design artistry. -- back cover |
