Ascertaining the genre of this volume has been difficult. It is much more than memoire, book of poetry, case study, dream journal, and travelogue. It is all that, plus their integration into a creative product.
It begins before the author's birth, when enterprising Grandfather Joseph Abrahams came to America, soon to meet a mysterious death. The extended family to follow prospered, and his grandson Joseph likewise pursued the American dream, first in Texas, then New England, New York, and during the war years, much of America. In the course of a career in psychoanalysis, he ventured into study of his own inner world for understanding of his life drives. There analysis of his dreams have been central, then a bent for poetry. The result is this volume, centering about a protracted rendezvous with death, surfacing with an epic poem, entitled, A Passionate Psychoanalyst.

The Fort Knox Story: Wartime Therapy of Army Offenders is an account of a remarkable experiment during World War II that gives us a blueprint for an effective correctional community in the Twenty First Century. On the rolling hills of Kentucky, not far from the Fort Knox Gold Depositary, Col. George L. Miller led an intrepid band of Army reservists and mental health professionals in a seminal fight for the hearts and minds of thousands of general prisoners, returning a significant number to combat duty. The Fort Knox Story tells us what went on in this battle - in its patched-together shacks, training halls, and combat fields - that presages those to come when we campaign to win back our prisons. Basic to both is a prison, a secure place of containment, but also of recovery from alienation, personal and social. There, as we wrest control of the cliques and gangs - through group therapy, media, education, and recreation - we collaborate in creation of a "normal" culture, that by its very nature results in positive change. The American Army accepted, even welcomed Fort Knox's graduates, their success evidence of ongoing support and guidance. In The Fort Knox Story we envision that the future correctional community will be a "university within walls," training ground of a range of professions, and backup to an extramural system of support and guidance for its graduates. With many campuses, it will amount to a school for living, as well as institute for research in the causes and treatment of crime and deviance.
