Summary:
"This book is about some of the most courageous and innovative clinicians and thinkers to lead the way in our exploration of the human mind. It grew out of my lifelong search for ways to understand and help myself and others. Over a half century of seeking and reading, I have come to realize that the theories and practices of many of these remarkable forerunners of ours are best appreciated in the context of their life experiences and the ethos of their time. Putting their life stories together, the theme "wounded healer" emerged as an important but hitherto neglected concept: we cannot fully understand a theory without understanding from whence it arose. This perspective has become an important cornerstone for my view on what we do and who we are; how our understanding of the human nature has developed, and where we go from here."-- Provided by publisher.
