Psychotherapist Lorraine Rose addresses the pervasive anxiety about where the world is going. In the midst of uncertainty, we are forced back to basics to re-discover tools for living. She identifies anchors that can help us navigate our lives by understanding our needs from the early years and during our developmental path to maturity. She charts an emotional and psychological map from birth to death, focusing on the birth of the personality and pathways that include learning to love and gaining the capacity for intimacy. Bringing our pre-verbal selves into consciousness is now more possible with advances in psychological practices, and this leads to a better understanding of our nature and needs. Those who missed out on emotional milestones can, as adults, revisit their early years to resolve those issues that impact on their capacity to mature, the quality of their relationships, and their ability to regulate their emotions. Finally, Lorraine Rose provides a commentary on recent economic and social models western society to assess whether these models align with the needs of citizens. Ways of assessing the health of our society help us better discern our needs on a personal and societal level.
Industry Reviews

At last: you are not patient 2794 or Syndrome XY: you are a whole human being with a personal history, a family, community and a changing body. Lorraine Rose’s enthralling book is unlike anything I have seen before and twice as satisfying. This is your mind and mine from first burp to senior reflections - a story all of us want to understand as we grow. Now we can.

– Robyn Williams, Science broadcaster

 

As a former publisher for Oxford and Cambridge University Presses in Australia, I can’t recommend this book highly enough.  It will be essential reading for practitioners in the helping disciplines; it is a have-to-have book rather than a discretionary purchase.

– Jill Henry, counselor/psychotherapist

 

 “I have followed the growth of this manuscript from its beginning to its conclusion.  It is a distinctive book and deserves to be published.”

– Maurice Whelan, psychoanalyst

 

“I found the approach taken by Lorraine of the critical first years of life as integrated challenges for baby, mother and father quite comprehensive.  It is not just the baby’s development; each participant is experiencing similar challenges.  This gives a sound foundation for our understanding of human capacity for social living.”

– Beulah Warren, psychologist, MA(hons) MMH (Infant); recipient World Infant Mental Health Prize, 2014

 

“Lorraine’s book explores the intimate relationship between mother and child, expanding into the enormous potential of family and the ties between individuals and society.  Moving beyond family, the text broadens across today’s corporate and business culture, and questions the limits of contemporary leadership, communications and economies.  Lorraine skillfully joins the links from an infant’s first years and the direction and role of a modern democracy.  A lifetime journey we all share.”

– Rodney Smith, IT consultant, blogger

 

“I cried twice reading this book; it touches who we are.”

– Julie Cross, a reader:
