Bruce Hutchison (PH.D. C.PSYCH) writes the kind of book that is needed in the times of emotional turmoil that we live in. A retired clinical psychologist with over 50 years of experience performing psychotherapy, counselling, consultation and assessment, Dr. Hutchison has experienced and identified emotional contagion in many of his sessions with his clients, when emotions move and flow from client to therapist. He has appeared on TV, radio, and has travelled giving many speeches and talks about various topics in bettering oneself. An award-winning psychologist, he is known throughout Canada, and has been an avid follower of Canadian and American news. As a Canadian, he has been close enough and yet far enough away from the U.S. to get a subjective-objective view, one where he has no skin the game. He can be a little more objective, and less infected by the emotional infection he says flows in the U.S. media and society. But he is close enough to read the situation and be affected by American politics. He shares his insights with us in this ground-breaking book. He lives in Ottawa with his wife.
