The Friends of the Brill Library invite you to an evening with Donald Moss, MD, the author of At War with the Obvious: Disruptive Thinking in Psycho-analysis (Routledge, 2017).

The author situates each chapter of At War with the Obvious at the border between common and psychoanalytic sense.

He is currently the Continue reading Meet the Author: Donald Moss at NYPSI
