In the waning moments of the last night of his medical internship, Dr. Cliff Wilkerson for the first time delivers a baby and is almost immediately thrust into the unfamiliar world of psychiatry. Very little in medical school has truly prepared him for working in the field with distressed patients who look to him for relief from their emotional distress.
In Still Moving On, the sequel to Moving On, which chronicled his early years on through his medical internship, Wilkerson chronicles the next fourteen years of his life-specifically, his training in adult, child, and adolescent psychiatry. He wants to understand the human mind and what leads to mental disorders. As Wilkerson peers into the minds of his patients, he must also explore his own mind-his emotions, anxieties, and neuroses.
Wilkerson struggles to maintain a balance between work and life, and his family commitments and professional duties frequently collide, particularly during a three-year period when he works in a residential school for psychologically troubled children. Wilkerson must search for a way to emotionally support his wife and two sons while pursuing his work and his psychiatric and psychoanalytic studies.
Needing to balance his intellectual life with something physical, Wilkerson turns to judo, a martial-arts sport and earns a black belt. Join Wilkerson as he explores his own identity while striving to help those suffering from emotional and behavioral disorders.
