Despair and the Return of Hope: Echoes of Mourning in Psychotherapy by Peter C. Shabad - 2007

Jason Aronson, 2007. First Edition. Softcover. As New. A very clean, tight ,bright copy in as new condition. Dr. Peter Shabad has masterfully crafted a richly textured, beautifully elegant work of art, a masterpiece that represents the culmination of years of clinical work and theoretical study. In a book that is at once inspired, inspiring, and poetic, Dr. Shabad has managed seamlessly to integrate the psychoanalytic and the existential. The result is a riveting volume whose pages are replete with clinically useful pearls of wisdom about life, death, and much that is in between. This is ultimately a story about transformation, forgiveness, and letting go; the development of the capacity to 'choose oneself' as one moves from disillusionment, hopelessness, and despair to freedom, hopefulness, and possibility. A must-read that you won't be able to put down until you've read every last word.--Martha Stark, M.D., Harvard Medical School; author, Modes of Therapeutic Action 366 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
