“The process of creating this book has deepened my respect for my colleagues who are dealing with the full spectrum of human behavior … every therapist I encountered impressed me with his or her commitment to alleviating symptoms and improving the lives of their patients. This book is my tribute to their work …” – Sebastian Zimmermann
In Fifty Shrinks, psychiatrist and photographer Sebastian Zimmermann presents a photographic survey of the current field of psychiatry and psychology through penetrating portraits of fifty therapists all taken in the most sacred of places – the private office where they see their patients. Ranging from luminaries to newly minted analysts, Zimmermann’s subjects hail from widely different orientations that collectively reveal the diversity of approaches to therapeutic practice today.
