Publisher Synopsis
"[A] richly evocative book. . . . This moving book is a pleasure to read; it deepens our emotional knowledge of the 'haunted' patient, and our understanding of the nature of the universal struggle that the need for change presents."-Richard Zimmer, International Journal of Psychoanalysis -- Richard Zimmer * International Journal of Psychoanalysis * "Dr. Shengold intelligently demonstrates how the nature of parental ties shapes one's life course, how difficult it is to alter it, and how it influences creative activities. Anyone who reads this book will experience what I did-quiet hours of reflection on our own upbringing, our own parenting, and how these have shaped our lives."-Samuel Ritvo, M.D., Yale Child Study Center -- Samuel Ritvo Read more...
