Rezensionen

'This is a wise and beautiful book. Like some of the best writers in the existential humanistic tradition (Carl Rogers, R.D. Laing, Irvin Yalom, Ernesto Spinelli), Laura Barnett has a talent for making therapy and philosophical theory understandable to everyone without sacrificing complexity and depth. She adds to this tradition a very precise consideration of the importance of the body and transgenerational issues. As a vivid but modest presence in the book, she demonstrates in her very attuned handling of delicate material the book's three interwoven themes. Holding theory lightly and combining a very distinct personal voice with compelling vignettes, she invites us to confront the mystery of being human.'
