Special Event: The Second in a Series - All People Great and Small: Readings by Peter A. Crist, M.D.
Saturday, April 6, 2019, 4:00PM to 6:00PM, ACO Campus, 4419 Route 27, Princeton NJ
Psychiatrist and writer, Dr. Peter A. Crist, will share excerpts from his book-in-process, All People Great and Small. The second in a series of readings, covering entirely new material, will take place on Saturday, April 6, 2019 from 4:00PM to 6:00PM at the American College of Orgonomy (ACO) campus in Princeton, NJ. Reception will follow. The book's title is an homage to James Herriot's several volumes of compelling accounts of life as a country vet. Dr. Crist's work is inspired by his medical training, his experiences caring for patients, his unique observations about growing up in an authoritarian era with non-authoritarian parents and his love of nature. The selections for this event include stories from his childhood, college years, medical training and time as a professor of psychiatry at UMDNJ-Rutgers Medical School that together give a sense of how he became the kind of doctor he is today. Dr. Crist's writing is a window into what it was like to be a child entranced by the natural world and inquisitive about how people relate to each other, as well as an in-depth view of the impact his medical training and work as a doctor has had on the course of his life. Discussion will follow each of the readings.
Dr. Crist graduated from UCLA with an AB in Zoology and an MD degree. He is board certified in psychiatry, internal medicine, and medical orgonomy. He is in private practice in central New Jersey where he treats infants, children, adults, couples, and families. Dr. Crist is also president of the American College of Orgonomy (ACO), a non-profit, educational and scientific organization. He is on the faculty of the ACO training program for medical orgonomists and is chairman of their social orgonomy training committee and on its faculty. Dr. Crist has spoken in the US and abroad on a wide range of topics and has published numerous articles in the Journal of Orgonomy.
The cost to attend is $45. Seating is limited, registration required. Call (732) 821-1144 or register and pay online using the button below. Attendance is complimentary for ACO Patron and Sustaining Level Member Donors. Learn about becoming a Member Donor on our Support page.
