Originally published in 1946, The Doctor’s Job is an account of changes in medicine over the decades, focusing on the rapid expansion of medical science and the development of specialties. Carl Binger, a distinguished psychiatrist and physician and pioneer in psychosomatic medicine, reflects on the ethical, emotional, and intellectual challenges faced by doctors at the time and the evolving role of medicine in society. Today it can be read in its historical context.

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1946. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.

Carl Binger (1889–1976) was an American psychiatrist and the author of articles and books about the practice of medicine. Binger grew up in New York City and attended Harvard College (1906) and Harvard Medical School (1914), after which he served as a doctor in World War I and in a Red Cross mission to combat a Typhus epidemic in Macedonia. During the 1920s he was a research pathologist at the Rockefeller Institute, where he became interested in the psychological aspects of illness and health. Binger then studied psychiatry in London, Heidelberg and, in Zurich, under Dr. Carl Jung and registered as a psychiatrist in 1946. He gave psychiatric evidence as a defense witness in the 1949 Alger Hiss trials. Binger was professor of clinical psychiatry at the Cornell University Medical School, and later consultant in psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. He was a founder of the American Psychosomatic Society and editor in chief of Psychosomatic Medicine.
