About the Book

The author's discontent during his life in Argentina is related to feeling locked up for life in a country unable to change with the times, as its body politic nurtures a culture of self-absorption and isolationism that is poisonous to every aspect of public and private life. Argentina reached its height of power and wealth at the turn of the 19th Century, and for thirty years was among the ten wealthiest countries in the world. The country declined because of nepotism and corruption. The military's intervention and consequent debasement of its governance made Argentina's decline inevitable. Coming close to losing life and limb during a student revolt in 1955, the author did not wish to remain in a country that he viewed as a prison. Becoming aware that the door of that prison was unlocked, he began to plan his exit, and joined the Argentine exodus in January 1960.
About the Author: Leo Grieben, M.D. is a former neurosurgeon and longtime practicing psychiatrist born in faraway Argentina who made his home in the United States in 1960. Originally trained as a surgeon, he developed an interest in psychiatry and trained in that medical specialty at the University of Minnesota Graduate School. He specialized in psychoanalysis at first and in psychopharmacology later, when researchers developed drugs that allowed treating brain conditions that cause depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and bipolar disorders. Dr. Grieben witnessed the astonishing revolution in treatment that emptied mental hospitals around the world, and he saw many of the unintended social and economic consequences. He was the founder of a modern psychiatric hospital in Wisconsin, where he practiced for most of his professional life. Retired since January 2012, he lives in Southern California with his wife and son. He remains a life member of the American Psychiatric Association.
