Description
by H. Penny Mishkin (Author)
"I couldn't put this book down. Penny's heartfelt vulnerability and gift as a storyteller come through every page. She does such an incredible job of providing insight into the world of psychoanalysis in such a relatable and honest way. Her story is inspirational and educational for anyone."
"I was curious, as many are, as to what psychoanalysis is like. Incredibly moving, insightful, and for anyone considering therapy, this is a must read."
Most books about psychotherapy are written from the clinician's perspective. There is very little written directly from the patient's point of view. This book is intended to provide my perspective as a patient in psychoanalytic therapy and to illustrate how it transformed my life. This book will bring you into the psychoanalyst's office where you can eavesdrop and observe what a successful psychoanalysis is like.
Penny Mishkin first sought psychoanalysis when she was 24. She was born with a severe visual impairment which resulted in a disability which presented many challenges. By nature, Penny was introspective and analytical and so she knew psychoanalysis was the right therapy to help her. Fittingly, her analysis began on Columbus Day. This was a perfect metaphor for her setting sail on a journey to a new world. This is the story of her transformation as a result of psychoanalysis
