Maxims Minimus: Reflections in Microstyle. This item is unavailable.Maxims Minimus: Reflections in Microstyle

Maxims Minimus is the sedimentation of over forty years of experience in teaching, writing, and treating patients.   As many other poets, T. Byram Karasu dares to be just so clear, and no clearer. Thus, Dr. Karasu’s Maxims is well suited for this age of Twitter and text messages. He says, “Anything that cannot be said in 140 characters (or in 140 seconds) is not particularly worth saying.” This book is Dr. Karasu’s reflections about loving, working, living, dying, and everything else―his philosophy of life expressed in microstyle.

T. Byram Karasu, M.D., a graduate of the Yale School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, is presently the Silverman Professor and University Chairman of the Deparmtent of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstien College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, and the editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Psychotherapy.  He is the author or editor of 20 books, including two novels, Of God and Madness and The Gotham Chronicles―The Culture of Sociopathy; a book of poetry, Rags of My Soul; the seminal work, Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders; and two best sellers, The Art of Serenity and The Spirit of Happiness. Dr. Karasu is a scholar, renowned clinician, teacher and lecturer, and the recipient of numerous awards. He lives in New York City.
