The Lessons Doctor Sarno Taught Me: Reflections, Memoir, and Teachings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781929997039)

Dr. Schechter was Dr. John Sarno's first medical doctor trainee. Dr. Sarno was Schechter's most important career mentor. Schechter took an interest in TMS as a medical student, was successfully diagnosed and treated by Dr. Sarno, and did a research study in his office suite beside Dr. Sarno. With a relationship (student, professional collegial, finally fond friend) that spanned decades, Schechter reflects on Dr. Sarno's teachings in Twelve Chapters and Eighteen Lessons. Readers have noted "intimate and humanizing vignettes", "book captures Sarno's immense contributions", "rare and fascinating glimpses". This book was written during the 100th year since Dr. Sarno was born and to honor his contributions. It also reflects the complexity of a relationship with a powerful man and innovator in his field. This book is less an idealization or hagiography than it is a reflection on learning from a mentor, dealing with the complexities of that relationship, and concluding in a sweet manner in Dr. Sarno's final years.
