In Committed Adam Stern recounts his experience as a Psychiatric Resident. Stern shares his experiences during his first and second years, his encounters with patients, interacting with his teachers and his fellow residents, his self-doubt, and his growing competence. The book is a fascinating look at the workings of a psychiatric ward and is told entirely in a conversational, no medical experience or knowledge needed to understand what’s going on, manner.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes to “walk in someone else’s shoes” via memoir.
