Aprašymas

In an age of human distress and alienation, this book seeks to establish that the major cause is found in the breakdown of relationships between people. Drawing on experience and research done by psychotherapists such as Erik Erikson, Abraham Maslow, John Bowlby, Donald Winnicott, Sue Gerhardt and Sarah Litvinoff, and placing this understanding within a biblical context, the author has achieved a relatively short and readable work. Spending some years in classes for Counsellor Training, the author saw similarities in how people behave within all human groups. She sees comfort as "soothing balm to the afflicted human spirit" and has sought to place this within the context of human relations, with safety, belonging and acceptance underpinning human welfare. From morality to the imperative of containing strong emotions and from jealousy and anger to unity, this book is a striking attempt to embrace the problems we all encounter in today's society.
