Chris Cantor was a psychiatrist in a former life, who wrote the world’s first textbook on “Evolution and Posttraumatic Stress.” He published widely in suicide and to a lesser extent mass-homicide and latterly was attempting the impossible – suggesting that there might have been understandable evolutionary processes underlying chronic pain, horror that it is.

Chris’s Quotes

“We fear death, we shudder at life's instability, we grieve to see the flowers wilt again and again, and the leaves fall, and in our hearts we know that we, too, are transitory and will soon disappear.

― Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund
