5.0 out of 5 stars A revoluationary approach to psychotherapy.
In "Blackbirds" Dr. Baldwin describes a psychoanalytic process of discovering our "selves." (That's right, plural.)

5.0 out of 5 stars A revoluationary approach to psychotherapy., February 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Four and Twenty Blackbirds: Personae Theory and the Understanding of Our Multiple Selves (Paperback)
In "Blackbirds" Dr. Baldwin describes a psychoanalytic process of discovering our "selves." (That's right, plural.) His approach encourages us to look at the cast of characters which make up the self, how these characters interact in the "community of the self" and the various roles each character plays in the script we all write for our lives. Dr. Baldwin's personae theory explores the psychological power of literature and theater and how these can move us and enrich us, whether staged in a theater, or in our heads. A facinating look at the psyche that turns inward and outward until there doesn't seem to be a difference between the two; which is, of course, the whole point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing It All Back Home, December 11, 1999
This review is from: Four and Twenty Blackbirds: Personae Theory and the Understanding of Our Multiple Selves (Paperback)
Reading this book consolidated a natural knowledge I'd always had -- it made perfect sense without stretching or pushing or being difficult to understand, and without having a strong background in psychology, psychiatry or personality theory. Dr. Baldwin's book is impressive both in its treatment of the concept of "self" and its readability.
