I had just read Siddhartha Mukherjee’s wonderful, short book The Laws of Medicine: Field Notes from an Uncertain Science. On a weeklong hike in Spain last year, walking eight hours a day, I had a lot of time to think. Inspired by this book about nature, medicine and the three rather counter-intuitive laws Mukherjee had ‘discovered’, I wondered what might be said of my field, mental health and the addictions. I wondered, as well, what might make a difference for clinicians working with patients and families – as well as by those directly affected by mental and addictive conditions - regarding their critical and heartbreaking concerns and struggles?
As the days of hiking ensued, I came to four foundational truths, if you will, instead of laws, which I call ‘secrets’. They are insights from a long career, which I believe are hidden in plain sight.
That soon became Improving Mental Health: Four Secrets in Plain Sight, released in November, 2016
