About the Author
Naoko Wake is a member of the history, philosophy, and sociology of science faculty of Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University.
"Wake offers a balanced and penetrating study of Harry Stack
Sullivan, one that integrates both his private life and his public
career."
*Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University*
"Private Practices takes up important issues and offers an analysis
of Sullivan that will be useful not only to historians of
psychiatry and the social sciences but also to philosophers of
science, bioethicists, and anyone interested in twentieth-century
gender and sexuality."
*Journal of American History*
"A well-written, tantalizingly ambitious, and rich reading that
offers numerous insights into the development of social scientific
thought on homosexuality, the new psychiatry, interwar liberalism,
private treatment practices at Sheppard–Pratt, and the life of
Harry Stack Sullivan."
*Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences*
