While eschewing the promotion of the therapist sharing self-subjectivity with the patient, he acknowledges the inevitability of inadvertent self-disclosure, citing 911, as an example, when New York therapists and patients, shared a sense of vulnerability. He encourages clinicians to think about the effects their own histories and lives have on aspects of treatment, ., theory and transference dynamics. There are 18 essays divided in to two parts: early life events, crises, and influences; and later life events, crises, and developmental passages. Th begins with a birth and ends with a still practicing centenarian's essay. In part one, inter alia, an adopted child becomes a psychoanalyst after a childhood of loss, confusion, and secrecy, and a therapist attributes an interest in politics, women's issues, and activism to a postwar childhood in England. Part two highlights chapters about loss of a child, gender issues, and loss of a therapist. There is a list of contributors, and references. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
