​

"Amy Begel is an artist of therapeutic language. She is clinically experienced in dealing with the unending ambiguities of body and mind, without giving into the language that always leads back to where doctors and their patients are stuck. Attention to the problems that perplex doctors and patients requires a combination of artful and graceful interaction. Amy Begel embodies that range of experience. With subtlety she helps patients and doctors discover possibility in relationships."
