Description: Written in an engrossing novelesque style, the book recounts, with engaging honesty, the arc of one human journey in a Belfast-based therapy from 1988-1997. It shares what it is like to bare soul, both on a couch and in a group, making accessible a world that is usually private. And it gives brave voice to the fragile nature of humanity, standing witness to an ordinary' experience of the Troubles,' to the human impact of terrorism and political war.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 249-251).
