Description

A doctor inevitably encounters the emotions and suffering of other people—while observing the life stories of many patients—and that does not pass without consequences. The desire to help can have its own results, from which it can be difficult to get rid of.

This is what Elena Starenkova’s book tells, consisting of three main parts.

THE FIRST PART takes the reader through the experience of a medical student, showing what challenges the future doctor faces on the path to their goal—helping people.

THE SECOND PART reveals the world of the work of a psychiatrist, delving into diagnostics, the variety of therapies, and clinical cases. It urges the reader to examine details carefully and to understand that not everything is as simple as it may seem at first glance.

THE THIRD PART clarifies that sometimes accepting something as truth can diverge greatly from reality.
