Miriam Greenspan Boeken

Dit boek presenteert een stap- voor- stap proces, dat `de alchemie van duistere emoties' wordt genoemd, om de genezende krachten van verdriet, angst en wanhoop te ontsluiten.

The collection presents poignant poetry reflecting a mother's emotional journey through her daughter's heroin addiction, capturing themes of love, helplessness, and resilience. Miriam Greenspan, a renowned psychologist, shares her personal experiences, creating a powerful testament to the impact of the opiate epidemic on families across America. Through her intimate memoir, she provides a voice to the struggles and complexities faced by those affected, highlighting both the darkness and the strength found in the midst of despair.

In the tenth-anniversary edition of this text, Miriam Greenspan presents a stinging and often humourous indictment of a male-dominated psychotherapeutic community unwilling to acknowledge the role of sexual inequality as a factor in female symptoms such as low self-esteem, depression and sexual withdrawal. By its failure to address the social roots of women's psychological pain, Greenspan says, the patriarchal mental health care establishment contributes to women's emotional suffering.

A leading psychotherapist explains how to use one's negative emotions and pain, including depression, anxiety, fear, grief, and despair, to transform one's life, drawing on examples from her own practice to demonstrate how such dark emotions link us to the world around us and provide a path to growth, wisdom, and true happiness.
