    I am co-author of the book: “Semrad: The Heart of a Therapist,” which was originally released in 1970, three years after Dr. Semrad’s untimely death. The book has been continuously in print since that time, and is still available! My memoir: “That’s How the Light Gets In: Memoir of a Psychiatrist” has an entire chapter devoted to my experience of learning from Dr. Semrad. The article by Sal Giarratani speaks from the heart about Dr. Elvin Semrad. Dr. Semrad was a most remarkable teacher of psychiatry and the most respectful and helpful clinician I have ever known. Like many of the best-trained psychiatrists in the United States, I was fortunate to do my residency training in Psychiatry at Massachusetts Mental Health Center, and in my ongoing practice of psychiatry, I quote something that I learned from Dr. Semrad virtually every day. I miss him still.
