Reviews"Astonishing in its ambition, scope, and honest self-reflection, the ABPN's 75th Anniversary volume tells the story of the birth and maturation of our field. Contemporary leaders in psychiatry and neurology describe the history and trajectory of the Board, whose hand, seen and unseen, has profoundly shaped modern American psychiatry and, indeed, the face of the modern psychiatrist. Ranging from witty descriptions of the "Giants of American Psychiatry" to the struggle to transcend guild interests to meet the public interest, this volume surprises the reader with the background we thought we knew but did not, and the clarity of the vision for the future we did not know but all should."- Richard F. Summers, M.D., President, American Association of Directors of Residency Training (AADPRT), Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Co-Director of Residency Training, Department of Psychiatry, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
