ABOUT THE BOOK
The Mind’s Eye
Set during the short, dark days of a Michigan winter in the mid ‘90’s, the story takes us into the mind of Dr. Ivan Weiss, a gifted, but troubled, psychoanalyst. Weiss’ life is disintegrating. His daughter was recently raped, worries about his wife’s fidelity, which had plagued him in the past, are resurfacing, and the clinic he directs is facing a sexual harassment charge. When his wife disappears, leaving an enigmatic note, and his daughter goes missing, his world totally flies apart.
The story ranges from the quiet of a psychoanalytic consulting room in Ann Arbor to the south of France to a police chase in the devastated areas of downtown Detroit, many years before its recent rebirth. It is about the present and the secrets from the past.
The Mind’s Eye is one of a very select group of novels included in the very recently published Clinical Fictions: Psychoanalytic Novelists and Short Story Writers (Routledge)by Jeffrey Berman, Distinguished Teaching Professor at SUNY Albany and author of over 20 books
