Biography
Eric Sherman
"Sherman is a sensitive clinician, courageous in his own experience of the therapeutic relationship. His clear-eyed honesty and gifted narrative style take you into the office with him and his patients; there he shares his own feelings in the delicate and profound human contact that is the therapeutic encounter. Notes from the Margins is a gem, compact enough to be on my short list of books to recommend to students as well as to seasoned colleagues."
- Ralph Roughton, Ph.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Emory University
