From Sniper to Sex Therapist: The Story of Dr. Ruth

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jun 5, 2015

Dr. Ruth Westheimer is a famous and trusted sex therapist, but few people know she narrowly escaped death from the Holocaust, was raised in an orphanage in Switzerland, or that she was a sniper during Israel's War of Independence. In The Doctor is In: Dr. Ruth on Love, Life, and Joie de Vivre, she shares intimate and funny stories from her eighty-seven years, and shows readers how they too can learn to deal with tragedy and loss, challenges and success.

On the interview she stood by a statement about consent she made on The Diane Rehm Show on June 1.
