Step Into the Mind of a Psychiatrist – If You Dare, Art Smukler, MD, author & psychiatrist

Step into the Mind of a Psychiatrist—If You Dare.
Art Smukler MD’s psychological suspense series isn’t just fiction—it’s a visceral plunge into the human psyche. With decades of experience as a psychiatrist and a storyteller’s flair, Smukler crafts gripping tales where trauma, mystery, and survival collide. From the gritty streets of Philadelphia to the shadowy corners of Los Angeles, his characters—often doctors, patients, and seekers—navigate twisted plots that blur the line between reality and delusion.

Whether it’s Little Italy, where a med student is hunted by killers and haunted by his past, The Secret of Carol Rosa, where a psychiatrist’s stalker forces him into a dangerous psychological maze, or Patient X, where a failed writer hides in a psychiatric ward to escape international assassins—each novel is a masterclass in suspense, psychology, and raw human emotion.

If you love thrillers with depth, danger, and a dose of Freudian chaos—this series is your next obsession.

A fellow writer who loved my novels kindly shared this with me.

Hope you love them as much as she did!

Thanks,
