This book offers real-time, intimate reflections on Dr. Friedberg's
patients as they struggle with COVID-19 and its disruptive,
dispiriting fallout. Through a Screen Darkly identifies the
psychological distress caused by the pandemic, examining how the
particular elements of COVID-19 - its ability to be spread by those
who seem not to have it, its intractability, the long-term
uncertainty that it engenders - leave even relatively stable people
shaken and unsure of the future. The book examines how, amidst
radical uncertainty and the prospect of massive social change, such
people learn to become resilient. The main theme of the book is
that, of necessity, we learn to adapt. Though we still can only see
"darkly," we can call on the resources that we have, as well as
those we can reasonably acquire, so as to retain a sense of our
dignity and purpose. Through a Screen Darkly examines what is
possible now as the pandemic runs its course. It makes no
predictions of how all this will ultimately play out, but offers a
time capsule of how people have coped with a disease that landed
suddenly and that we still do not fully understand. Offering a
series of intense encounters with worried, traumatized people, this
book will be invaluable to in-training and practicing
psychiatrists, as it points to the several possible directions for
our national, psychological recovery from the pandemic.
