He Practices Not Preaches
Sam Barklis is that rare human being who turned what can be a debilitating disorder into an avenue in which to help many, many other people. My wife is bi-polar and has been for forty-seven years, but until she met Dr. Sam, she suffered a continual series of hospitalizations, shock therapy and inept psychiatry
practiced by psychiatrists who only thought they knew about this disorder. Dr. Sam has her on the road to being "level" and I do wish all bi-polar people could benefit from his vast wisdom and the thrill of being level and not subject to the radical ups and downs of this disorder. The book was a most insightful journey into the life of a bi-polar personality, but because of his modesty, only failed to touch on the magnificience of the man who not only lives it but gives, not hope, but realization of a
"miracle" in my opinion and the concensus of opinions of every life he touches. Should be required reading for all physicians
and psychiatric medicine practioners.
