This is a fascinating book written in a beautifully accessible and clear style. Dr Read draws upon a wealth of clinical experience as a psychiatrist in addition to his own more personal experiences to provide the reader with a rich menu of chapters and stories ranging from psychiatric crisis to the complexity of all that makes us human. With a strong and creative theoretical basis he links key ideas about individual development and psychoanalytic theory with transpersonal and Jungian perspective to explore the possibility of an archetypal experiential layer to our lives and how this can add to our understanding of ourselves, in crisis and in growth. A scholarly work richly based in experience his writing style makes these ideas compelling reading for all. Highly recommended as a strikingly original work and a valuable contribution for anyone interested in asking some of the deeper questions about who we are.
