Michael Eigen, Ph.D.
Robin Bagai offers a luminous tribute to Michael Eigen. He has carefully and lovingly curated a treasure trove of quotes that throb with feeling, depth, aliveness and Eigen's timeless wisdom. A book to savor, return to, and be transformed by.
Shalini Masih, United Kingdom, Psychotherapist and author, Psychoanalytic Conversations with States of Spirit Possession: Beauty in Brokenness
Robin Bagai has accomplished an impossible feat, hand-selecting some of Eigen’s most memorable quotes, a creative task in itself. The book reads like mantras, each to be meditated upon, opening up new spheres of experience.
Joon ho Lee, Korean translator for Michael Eigen’s Seminars in Seoul 1,2,3, and Director of the Korean Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis
In this Eigen Companion, Robin Bagai enlivens what companioning could mean in many of Michael Eigen's works: honoring the spirit, listening to the heart, bearing witness by walking alongside, cultivating stillness, discovering the gift of sacred silence, and partnering disorder, if not fertile confusion. Eigen's mystical clinical-theoretical touch is artfully illuminated through Bagai’s psychoanalytic vision.
Loray Daws, Ph.D., D.Psa, Psychoanalyst and Clinical Psychologist
Robin Bagai provides us a gift with this stimulating compendium of Michael Eigen's psychoanalytic insights. Moments that touch spirit and soul from quotes that both edify and enlighten.
Ofra Eshel, faculty, training and supervising analyst, Israel Psychoanalytic Society; author, The Emergence of Analytic Oneness: Into the Heart of Psychoanalysis
What a delight it is to meander through the fertile garden of Mike Eigen's enduring and generous testimony to the richness of analytic and lived experience as opened up by the many vivid selections in this book.
