Terra Incognita provides an autobiographical account of Joseph Abrahams’ 75-year career as a psychoanalyst, with extensive scientific data, life-altering discoveries, and insightful conclusions. Each chapter represents a different stage of Abrahams’ career, from its prescient wartime beginnings to its post-retirement studies and writings. Terra Incognita offers a detailed look at the multi-disciplinary fields of the severe disorders, individual psychoanalysis, therapeutic community, and group work; as well as some of the key players in these fields who served as an inspiration for Abrahams throughout his career.

Joseph Isaac Abrahams, MD, is a distinguished fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a former associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego. His 70-year career includes pioneering work in group therapy and psychoanalysis with the severe disorders, occurring in both forensic institutions and in a flourishing private practice. He has written books on grassroots politics, the psycho-spiritual phenomenon of messianism, as well as an autobiographical work conveyed in his dreams and poems.
