Hitler's Analyst

In the early Fifties, a Park Avenue psychiatrist is presented with a case in very mysterious circumstances. His patients, a husband & wife, believe they are Adolf Hitler & Eva Braun. They are not, of course, but as their treatment continues, strange facts are brought to the surface concerning government activities during the war. The psychiatrist is young & successful, married to a psychologist, & has two children. The reader is given an accurate portrait of NYC at that time. As the story unfolds, secrets are uncovered that the government does not want brought to light. The patients are cured, but the psychiatrist & his family pay dearly for his patients' recovery. The book might be termed a psychological thriller, but it also reaches for a broader profile of what we, as Americans, have become, & why.
