Secrets: Stories of Psychiatry from America and Pakistan By Ali Madeeh Hashmi

Dr. Ali Hashmi's latest literary contribution, Secrets: Stories of Psychiatry from America and Pakistan continues his extraordinary personal and family tradition of contributing to our understanding through literature in a wide variety of forms. ‘Secrets’ is relevant on so many different levels! It captures the quest for meaning and the sense of calling of the author who was willing to move thousands of miles from home in order to pursue an education that he hoped to put to use serving the people of his native land. His mixture of the personal and the professional is quite beautiful and his broad interest in classical literature is also reflected in some of the chapters. It was my great privilege to be his Psychiatry Residency Director in the United States and one of the enduring rewards of that job is to now learn from my student serving those in need with distinction and honour.
