Between Rationality and Irrationality: The Jewish Psychotherapeutic System »

Gunther S. Stent, Professor Emeritus of Neurobiology and a participant in the exciting scientific breakthroughs of molecular biology that transformed the 20th Century life sciences, is the author of the philosophical books The Coming of the Golden Age and Paradoxes of Progress as well as of such classic texts as Molecular Biology of Bacterial Viruses and Molecular Genetics. He is a member of the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Born in Berlin, he lives in Berkely, California.

When he fled Berlin as a terrified teenager, Gunther Stent had been so thoroughly indoctrinated in Jewish self-hatred that his fondest wish was to be accepted into the Nazi youth movement. Only eight years later, his dreams came miraculously true when he swaggered back to Berlin, wearing an American uniform and capturing the heart of a blond shiksa actress. But it was nearly a lifetime before he understood that it was himself who had now become callous.
