"A new book, which will come out this month, gives a whole new insight into the 1960s presidential election between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy.
The book, ‘The Gumshoe and the Shrink’, details how Nixon frequently saw a psychotherapist for treatment and how the Kennedy family almost made the details known to the public just days before the extremely close election.
The shrink’s patient was then-candidate Nixon, who began seeing Arnold Hutschnecker in 1952. Nixon was suffering from a battery of symptoms that he suspected were psychosomatic, including back and neck pain and insomnia.
Hutschnecker not only treated Nixon for his stress and anxiety but became an informal adviser during the 1960 presidential campaign, teaching Nixon how to appear more calm and composed next to the effortlessly cool Kennedy."
