Product Description
Four years in medical school are not only demanding and competitive in a strictly academic sense, but they may bring students face-to-face with perfectionism, anxiety, obsessions, power plays, difficult patients, ethical dilemmas, identity crises, sleep deprivation, financial strain, and--perhaps for the first time in their lives--confrontations with disease, suffering, and death. The Mindful Medical Student will broaden readers' perspectives and cultivate their ability to respond to the extreme emotional, psychological, and spiritual challenges posed by medical school and, eventually, a medical career. Jeremy Spiegel, MD, tackled these issues head on, prevailed, and became a first-rate psychiatrist. Now, in a vital book, he shares what he has learned.

Healing Through Finding Your True Self July 8, 2009
Skipper Geanangel (Maine)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Dr. Jeremy Spiegel's The Mindful Medical Student: A Psychiatrist's Guide to Staying Who You Are While Becoming Who You Want to Be is a rare book of original, compassionate wisdom detailing sound strategies for students to be true to themselves while pursuing healing careers. Dr.Spiegel gently leads others through incredible challenges, while showing them how to nuture their healthy, natural identities, and, thus, be profoundly "real" in both professional and personal matters. Jeremy Spiegel writes with a wonderful clarity, precision, and grace, and his poignant, wise approach also makes this a compelling book for professionals in all fields who want to be faithful to their own "true selves." Dr.Spiegel promotes an understanding of the human condition while providing hope---and he does this with heartfelt truths.
Remarkable little book. February 16, 2010
Robert
This book idenifies personality and emotional maladoptions that can develop among students in response to the stress and molding of medical school, and provides practical stratagies for identifying and guarding oneself from the perils.
The book is direct, positive, quite thoughtful, and written at a much higher level than ordinary self-help titles that may touch upon similar themes but are marketed to daytime television audiences. (Perhaps the university presses should expand their catalogues in this area.)
Indeed, subtract the little MD in-jokes that are mildly annoying to one whose science courses always were nicknamed ". . . ology for poets," and this title could serve as required reading for those participating in a variety of rigorous training and professional programs, much the way certain insights espoused in The Inner Game of Tennis resonated far beyond the court.
