Dr. Khalid Sohail, a psychiatrist by profession has been passionately writing for the last two decades. His collections of poems, stories, travelogues, novellas and essays have been published in English, Urdu and Punjabi. His writings are an attempt to share his humanistic philosophy of life. He summarized his views in his book "Pages of My Heart" in the following words:

"I think that we have reached such a turning point in history where we are forced to make certain choices individually and collectively.  I hope that we do not proceed on the path of self-destruction, which ends in collective suicide; rather we decide to discover new ways of living harmoniously with other human beings, Mother Nature and ourselves.  Perhaps one day we will reach that state of communal growth and human evolution where we can accept that whether they are children or the elderly, women or minorities, the physically disabled or mentally sick, all human beings have a right to live respectfully and grow peacefully.  For our future development as a species we have to transcend the resentments based on class, race, gender, language or religious differences and anger because of the conflicts between the East and West, North and South, first and third world and many other man made divisions.  Sooner or later we have to accept that we are all human, members of the same family, and our enemies are part of us, just distant cousins.  I am quite aware that these are my personal and global dreams, but I believe that we are the products of our dreams.  When our dreams are shattered we start to disintegrate individually and collectively. "

In addition, Dr. K. Sohail has written extensively on different aspects of mental health and psychotherapy.

He has delivered his professional and literary creations to a vast number of audiences at local, provincial, national and international workshops, seminars and conferences for a number of years.
