Summary: A Psychiatrist with the heart of a poet
Review: Leston Havens has the ability to see and honor the push toward health in even the most bizarre behaviors, and he communicates to the readers, and more importantly to his patients, that he genuinely cares about their making it. He is a psychiatrist with the heart of a poet who is not afraid to share his own vulnerability in dealing with the fragility of others. The case studies in this book reveal the psychological hazards of dealing with dysfunctional families, terminal illnesses, chaotic minds, etc., and through these stories we learn something about tolerance and the hard work of transformation.
