Robert Pos was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 1927, obtained his MD at the University of Amsterdam in 1951, and emigrated to Canada in 1954. After a junior internship at the Toronto General Hospital, he specialized in psychiatry. In 1958, he led the way to opening the Queen Street mental hospital to the community. In 1962, he joined the Toronto General Hospital, did research of narco-analysis and LSD-25 in psychotherapy, and obtained his PhD at the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, in 1963.
He then developed the Informational Underload Theory of Psychotic Decompensation for which he received the national Research Award 1964 of the Canadian Mental Health Association wherupon he opened a neuro-physiological laboratory in the Banting Institute. In 1968, Pos was made the Toronto General Hospital's first Psychiatrist-in-Chief and in 1973 became Professor of Psychiatry. During his sabatical year in 1975-1976, he worked as Chairman of the Editorial Board on an undergraduate psychiatric textbook which was published in 1980.
In 1979, Pos became Director of Psychiatry at the local mental hospital in Owen Sound, Ontario, which he eventually turned into a psychiatric unit of the local general hospital. In 1982, he joined in Vancouver the Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission of British Columbia. Soon he became Psychiatrist-in-Chief of its Forensic Psychiatric Institute in Port Coquitlam BC, and then Director of its entire Adult Clinical Services. He also became Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia. As expert witness he was involved in many court cases. However, policy differences forced Pos to leave the Forensic Service in 1987, wherupon he started a private practice in Vancouver with emphasis on long-term therapy.
While he had become aware that forensic patients experience time in two distinct ways, early in private practice he realized that this applies to all people and thus began his present research. After retiring from practice in September 1997, he continued to work on his manuscript and published The Gender Beyond Sex as an e-book in March 2004 in preparation for the present book edition.

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
