"A superb exploration of the importance of emotional pain--how we deal with it, how we can deal with it. Eaton weds psychoanalysis and Buddhism to give birth to new ways of experiencing ourselves and working with our experience. He has a special talent for the autistic spectrum of children in therapy, but has something to give all of us that speaks to our difficulties in living. This is a book not only for mental health workers, but for all who want to benefit from fruitful reflections on the human condition." Michael Eigen, PhD, author of Contact with the Depths, Feeling Matters, and The Sensitive Self.
