Psychiatrist and author Dr. Jolie Pataki has released DSM-K for Kepele. It is a witty reimagining of psychiatry that combines her 30 years of professional experience with the humor and richness of Yiddish culture.
Written through her alter ego, Dr. Fackacta, DSM-K for Kepele is a playful take on the traditional psychiatric diagnostic manual. Instead of clinical jargon, readers are introduced to “disorders” such as Kvetch Disorder, Plotz Attacks, and Folie-A-Jew, terms that not only make readers laugh but also capture the essence of human behavior in ways that feel more real than medical language.
Yiddish has always had a way of describing life better than textbooks. Psychiatry can feel heavy, but with this book in hand, you can experience it with a fresh and humorous perspective that provides you a way to connect, understand, and even reduce stigma.”
More than parody, DSM-K for Kepele is both a cultural celebration and a bridge between psychiatry and everyday experience. Readers will find insight hidden within the humor, learning that quirks and misgivings are not signs of weakness but part of being human.
The book appeals to a wide range of readers, from mental health professionals who will appreciate the satire to Jewish readers who will delight in the cultural references to anyone who simply enjoys clever humor about life’s struggles.
Packed with wit, compassion, and cultural pride, DSM-K for Kepele invites readers to laugh at themselves and their families while recognizing that everyone has a little meshugenah inside.
If you are dealing with illness or any type of disorder, reading this book will provide you with a new and needed perspective on your life, allowing you to laugh more and worry less.
