Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore

David R. Hawkins was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on June 3, 1927, and came of age in the shadow of World War II, serving in the U.S. Navy before beginning a long medical career. He studied at Milwaukee State Teachers College, graduated from the Medical College of Wisconsin in 1953, and later received a Ph.D. in 1995. In New York he became a psychiatrist, medical director of the North Nassau Mental Health Center, and director of research at Brunswick Hospital, publishing in medical and psychoanalytic journals and working extensively on schizophrenia and alcoholism. A major turning point came in 1980, when he left full-time psychiatric practice to devote himself to spiritual research in Arizona. ((https://veritaspub.com/dr-hawkins/))
