For the first time Dr. Judith Orloff, a prominent psychiatrist and psychic, tells her story in this compelling and revelatory book: a study of one woman in exile between two worlds - the psychic and the everyday - and her courageous battle to embrace the gift of Second Sight. "Don't tell anyone about your predictions, " her mother, a respected Beverly Hills physician, had cautioned a young Judith. "They'll think you're strange." For years she complied, keeping to herself what she came to regard as a shameful secret. Fearing there was something wrong with her, she fought to repress her abilities until an ignored premonition of a patient's suicide attempt at last gave her personal proof of the value and integrity of her gift. Though tragic, this event helped her realize that she could use this psychic ability as a powerful tool to heal. Of course, when a board-certified physician professes to have psychic abilities that invaluably aid her work, she is as close to heresy as you can come in Western culture. In mainstream medical circles, claims of "clairvoyance, telepathy, or sixth sense" are indications of mental disorder. Second Sight is thus the remarkable story of Dr. Judith Orloff's journey from a gifted child, alone with abilities she didn't understand, to an esteemed psychiatrist and psychic who dares to defy medical taboos. By publicly expressing her clairvoyance, she has taken the risk of being a forerunner of a new millennium in patient care.

From the Author:

psychic abilities are a precious gift. Please honor them
I want to thank my readers for the touching letters you have written me and all the support. I was frightened to write this book fearing what my fellow physicians would think. I have received more support from the medical community and readers than I ever expected. In fact now I am giving grand rounds to medical schools around the country on how to use psychic abilites to excel in patient care. I hope Second Sight inspires you to take risks, act on your dreams and visions even if society tries to dissuade you. It is a difficult world we live in sometimes and the link we have to our inner self and spirit can get us through. My father recentlypassed away and it was my dreams and visions that got me through. Believein yourselfno matter what others say. NO one has to be alone. We are on this journey together. I feel blessed to have written Second Sight and to have so many people read it. With love and blessings, Judith Orloff MD.
