In this episode, we’re talking to Robert Hilt, MD. Bob is a Professor in the UW Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and a psychiatrist at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Bob talks to us about his journey from working as a pediatrician to leading The Partnership Access Line (PAL), a state-funded program providing mental health consultation for questions such as diagnostic clarification, medication adjustment or treatment planning.
The books we discuss are Freeing Your Child from Anxiety by Tamar E. Chansky and The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. In Freeing Your Child from Anxiety the reader can learn effective tools for teaching children and teens to outsmart their worries and take charge of their fears. And in The Eyre Affair the reader is taken on a whirlwind adventure to an alternate 1985, where literary detective Thursday Next pursues a master criminal through the world of Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel Jane Eyre. If you could wander through the world of a novel, which one would you pick?
