The Third in a Series: All People Great and Small, Readings by Dr. Peter A. Crist
Psychiatrist and writer, Dr. Peter A. Crist, will share excerpts from his book-in-progress, All People Great and Small. The third in a series of readings, covering entirely new material, will take place on Saturday, February 1, 2020 from 4:00PM to 6:00PM at the American College of Orgonomy (ACO) campus in Princeton, NJ. A reception will follow. The book's title, an homage to James Herriot's several volumes of compelling accounts of life as a country vet, reflects Dr. Crist’s open-hearted view of people. 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. It also provides an in-depth view of the impact his medical training and work as a doctor caring for patients has had on the course of his life. The selections for this year’s 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. This year, in recognition of 2020 as an election year, he has included two stories, one from early adulthood and one from childhood, that reflect a unique view of sociopolitics based on his observations of growing up in an authoritarian era with non-authoritarian parents. 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 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.
