Any reader will admire Ohlin's handling of the complexities here, her carefully structured revelation of the narrative alongside a very insightful investigation of what happen to those who care, and are cared for. It isn't a cheerful read, but at its core there is a calm and life affirming centre in the midst of the chaos that is human existence.
Psychologist/therapists and their own lives are a rich vein of fiction – one only has to think of Cracker – and in that genre [['The Semantics of Murder' by Aifric Campbell]] is a crime novel which is embedded in this world, playing with the intermeshing of the therapist’s and client’s world.
On the other hand if this novel fires your interest in therapy itself [[Who Is It That Can Tell Me Who I Am? by Jane Haynes ]] is both a theoretical and personal account of psychotherapy from the perspective of both the client and therapist.
