Book Description

May 1994
A book of insights into the process of psychotherapy and the healing of the mind: the emotions of therapy probed and illuminated as only a writer can.

Building on three decades of writing experience, the author draws the reader into the depths of depression, the exultations of joy, the roller coaster of transference and dependency, the release of recovery. The unexpected medium? Poetry. Poetry that is lyrical and accessible to all, arranged as a chronicle of the therapeutic process and giving voice to every patient's unspoken experiences on the "journey of a lifetime."

For patients, their friends, and relatives and for therapists, teachers, and students.

Ms. Cullen, an accomplished author, captures the feelings and experiences of individuals in psychotherapy in this chronicle of lyrical and accessible poems. Many of these poems have been published singly in literary magazines and psychology journals.


Editorial Reviews

Review

". . . a graphic and insightful picture of what one feels [about psychoanalysis]." -- Rollo May, Ph. D. - author of Love and Will

". . . a true and eloquent glimpse into the psychoanalytic experience." -- Judith Viorst - author of Necessary Losses

". . . gentle, sensitive, and beautiful." -- Theodore Isaac Rubin, M.D. - author of David and Lisa

"I find [this] work extraordinary." -- Roger Gould, M.D. - author of Transformations

From the Publisher

Each year, tens of thousands of people begin psychotherapy for the first time. For many this is an anxious time as they try to discover what they will be facing and feeling. There are countless books that explain the mechanics of therapy but few that convey the feelings that patients are likely to encounter: feelings of apprehension, fear, love, confusion, elation, anxiety, and relief.

The patient's hunger for insights and knowledge about feelings and experiences in therapy is difficult to satisfy through prose. Imagine, for example, trying to convey in prose Frost's uneasy guilt in Two Tramps in Mud-Time or Emily Dickinson's leaden grief in After Great Pain A Formal Feeling Comes. Poetry is uniquely suited to express emotions such as these.

Journey of Storms should prove a useful guide for everyone interested in therapy, not only new patients entering psychotherapy, but also current and former patients, practitioners, students, interns, and families of patients.

Journey of Storms is also a work of literature. It is a fascinating exploration of the human psyche by an accomplished author. We recommend it to anyone interested in fine writing.
