My thirst to know more about resistance is satisfied here. But, Not in a read&done way, rather in a reread&consult way. Continally trying to understand, again, resistance as presented anew by a patient. So, I can be where she's at, not bump into or unwittingly comply with her defensive resistant stance. I also appreciate Dr. Stark's references to major contributors and theorists incorporating the good parts and not repeating the bad parts of psychoanalytic thought. Always true to the historical underpinnings to her contemporary understanding models incorporates a perspective of where we've been, where we are and where we're headed in helping people resolve barriers to fully living as the person they are. Also, the use of the therapist as an agent of therapeutic change is an emphasis of Dr. Stark's work which is vital in my opinion. Her other books are similarly valuable in working with patients, understanding, and applying Martha's now 5 models of a psychotheraputic Synergy Paradigm.

Wonderful photography, like I was there in Ireland. A taste of quiet love, possibility and healing. This little girl sees and feels warmth and safety even in the midst of the devastating loss of the boy of her mother's cousin with whom Cait stays, while her Mam has another baby. It is sad she has to return to her family overwhelmed by too many children and a drinking misanthrope or worse of a father. There seems to be chaos and a lack of a safe feeling as if she has experienced something that gives her shame. She knows now there is more she can have in life. She's changed forever. In a full way of love being known.
