This is the story of a basically decent man who hid his true self from others all of his life. It began as a child hiding he was Jewish during the Holocaust period. Over the years, hiding became his main protection against being hurt-or so he believed, until he became trapped in a hidden role, unable to extricate himself and desperately wishing to be perceived as the person he truly was. As he struggled to penetrate what felt like a permanent barrier he found himself subjected to a new major stress, becoming the target of an extremist Sect wishing to damage the reputation of psychiatry, his profession of choice. He became extremely stressed and full of rage with no ability to escape the barrage of vicious personal attacks. He began having vivid dreams where the struggle to drop his mask and reveal his true self competed for space with fantasies of revenge, the latter bringing a smile to his face.
