Autobiography of distinguished psychiatrist David Enoch, author of modern classic Uncommon Psychiatric Syndromes, and committed Christian, now aged 94. A valuable first-hand contribution to 20th-century history as well as a candid and truly inspirational story of one man's journey through life.
David Enoch develops, argues for, and defends Robust Realism-a strongly realist and objectivist view of ethics and normativity, according to which there are perfectly universal and objective moral truths. He offers elaborate positive arguments for the view, and asserts that no other metaethical position can vindicate our taking morality seriously.
Exploring the intersection of faith and mental health, Dr. David Enoch addresses the prevalence of mental illness among Christians and the importance of seeking psychiatric help. He outlines different forms of mental illness, emphasizes that believers are not exempt from these struggles, and identifies available treatments. Enoch highlights the complementary roles of therapists and pastors, advocating for a compassionate church response. He reassures readers that divine support persists, asserting that God provides both knowledge and medication for healing.
