“I studied psychiatry in ‘The Golden Age,’ where we learned both how to use medications and how to do psychotherapy. Since then, of course, all sorts of new therapies have come along, such as light therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), chronotherapy (manipulating circadian rhythms) and, most recently, meditation as therapy.”
