About the book
Doctor Pluss is a work of fiction based on actual dialogues with schizophrenic patients, diabolically "sane" psychotherapists, and well-meaning yet unerringly destructive social workers. It chronicles the descent of an eccentric, sardonic, and witty psychiatrist into what appears to be a state of complete madness. Written in an evocative, lyrical prose style, the tale achieves a magical life of its own as the narrative twists, turns, and accelerates along with the doctor's free fall into the self. The novel demonstrates how ideation may be surrealistically transformed into a broken-language delirium that, despite its strangeness, remains eerily accessible. Inspired by the author's work as a client advocate in the New York City mental health system, the book portrays a milieu in which the road to hell is paved with psychiatric good intentions.
