A Little Left of Center:
Wading Through the Mind of Your Friendly Neighborhood Psychiatrist
A Little Left of Center is a revelatory psychology memoir that combines science and conscience through the telling of stories, prescriptions, and precisely weaponized conversation. Written through the perspective of Dr. Weinberg, your friendly neighborhood psychiatrist, we reveal the truth of living as a medical doctor and a human—at the same time. It turns out that patients aren’t the only ones in the psych wards trudging through mountains of biases and assumptions.
Each chapter takes us on a provocative journey with a different mental disease through real-life patient experiences. In this book, we’re shown what the front line of mental health really looks like, and the daily struggles of people clawing their way to wellness. Some of the diseases we explore are obsessive-compulsive disorder, sexual dysfunction, post-traumatic stress disorder, and everyone’s favorite frightening diagnosis: sociopathy. (Stay tuned for a rare and infinitely interesting intersection of Dr. Weinberg’s creation and a run-in with that very same affliction.)
Together, we challenge stigmas, enlighten our readers with captivating first-hand experiences, and offer hope and guidance to those struggling with mental health as well. Dripping with real-life drama and intrigue, A Little Left of Center not only engages and satisfies the readers' burning curiosities, but also serves to educate and embolden them with knowledge
