This book is the autobiography of Conrad W. (Koert) Baars, MD, a Dutch American psychiatrist, author, and lecturer. He was in Buchenwald Concentration Camp during World War II for working in the French Resistance. He describes his youth, his experiences in a nursing job in the camp, and his discovery of new psychiatric syndromes. He and his colleague, Anna A. A. Terruwe, MD, PhD were able to discover successful treatments for obsessive compulsive disorder and emotional deprivation disorder (their term) that did not offend moral theology. Dr. Baars died in 1981 before the book was finished. His wife Mary Jean Baars finished it and had it published. ( )
