In this book of sixty-six essays selected from his long-running In Person column in Massachusetts Psychologist and New England Psychologist, Alan Bodnar provides a window into the mind and heart of a practicing psychologist as he goes about his work and life. What began for him as an attempt to describe the lives of people who are considered very different because of severe mental illness quickly turned into an examination of the common human center that we all share. Journey with Doctor Bodnar as he weaves the story of his own life into his reflections on the emotions that animate the human heart. Discover with him the healing power of our connection to one another.
