Dr. Enoch Seele, a world-leading transplant surgeon, flourishes in the rarified realm of the New York elite, where his great power and wealth render him arrogant and inaccessible. But Enoch's soul has other plans.

An unexpected confrontation with a patient's criminal father ignites a terrifying dream, creating a small crack in his impenetrable ego. Circumstances quickly cascade, widening that crack and threatening Seele's professional reputation, forcing him to find what might lie beneath the surface of his life as a self-important doctor.

Unsettled, confused, and fearful, he enters psychoanalysis and begins the process of a difficult confrontation with the inner depths of feeling and compassion-that strange dimension in which Enoch embarks on an extraordinary and dangerous journey that brings him to the edge of madness.

The Psychoanalysis of Dr. Seele is a gripping, fast-moving tale about the high price to be paid by the arrogant and unaccountable, with their inflated egos, who must eventually question the belief that wealth and power are the meaning of life. Yet, it forces the reader to decide the worth of unraveling life's true purpose and the mystery of our existence.

'Stein's first novel (The Journey of Adam Kadmon) is an ambitious and unsettling inquiry into the paradoxical nature of spiritual quests...[a]richly atmospheric but over-the-top tale of delusion, affliction, extreme beliefs, brutality, and the dream of salvation.' - Booklist

'A well-conceived tale of journey and discovery.' - Library Journal
