About the Author

National Award-Winning Psychiatrist

Bruce Alan Kehr, M.D. has served as Founder and President of Potomac Psychiatry (PotomacPsychiatry.com) since 1981. Washingtonian Magazine awarded him their “Top Doctor” designation from 2012 to 2017. In 2016 and 2017 it named Potomac Psychiatry “The Face of Psychiatry” in their “Faces of Washington” issue. Dr. Kehr serves on the Board of the Institute on Aging of the University of Pennsylvania, and served as its Chairman from 2006 to 2009. The readers and editors of PharmaVOICE selected him in 2007 as one of the “100 Most Inspiring and Influential Leaders in the Life Sciences Industry.” Dr. Kehr writes a weekly blog and has created an extensive, searchable blog library located at drbrucekehr.com/blog/. From Dr. Kehr:
Dr. Kehr received training in psychiatry at Tufts New England Medical Center, where he was Chief Resident; in neuropsychiatry at the VA Boston Healthcare System – Jamaica Plain; and in psychoanalysis at the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute. He practices psychiatry and psychotherapy using “The Biopsychosocial Model” to treat the “Whole Person,” by understanding each individual’s unique genetic, biological, psychological, social, and life-stage characteristics.
For Dr. Kehr, the practice of psychiatry is both a privilege and a calling. His book, Becoming Whole: A Healing Companion to Ease Emotional Pain and Find Self-Love, enables his readers to help themselves and those they love by teaching them the basic principles of psychiatry through the powerful stories of patients in treatment. Becoming Whole is devoted to helping:
• Anyone suffering from emotional distress that just won’t go away
• Patients in psychotherapy who are not getting better
• Psychotherapists who would like to better understand the underlying biological basis of the symptoms experienced by their clients
• Patients in treatment with a psychiatrist who have not fully recovered
