Healing of a Psychotherapist: A Journey of Rebellion, Reflection and Redemption (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Healing of a Psychotherapist: A Journey of Rebellion, Reflection and Redemption (en Inglés)"
An unhappy childhood often affects who we become in adulthood and our capacity to enjoy whatever successes we achieve. In Healing of a Psychotherapist: A Journey of Rebellion, Reflection, and Redemption, Charles McCormack, MA, MSW, LCSW-C, uses his own life in illustration. With searing honesty, McCormack lays bare his personal and professional ordeals, along with the lessons he's drawn and continues to draw. Though his story is unique, his struggles are not; thus, McCormack's narrative works its way into the heart of each of us. His take home, the one given to him by his mother on her deathbed, is clear. Staring into his eyes, she was emphatic: "Charlie. Have a good life. Have a good life.," refusing to break her hold upon him until he finally committed, "I will, mom, I will," all the while thinking, "how the hell do I do that?" McCormack hopes that sharing his story through this book brings his readers insight and healing. Among McCormack's accomplishments: Clinical Social Worker of the Year, Maryland Society of Clinical Social Workers; author Treating Borderline States in Marriage; Guest Faculty, Washington School of Psychiatry; Graduate The New Directions Writing from a Psychoanalytic Perspective program of the Washington Center for Psychoanalysis. Essence, the previous edition of Healing of a Psychotherapist, is the winner of the Montaigne Medal awarded the most thought-provoking book of 2022 by the Eric Hoffer Book Awards.
