Book Synopsis

Shows how through working consciously and actively on our own life-story, we can build bridges to other people in a way that develops a new understanding for the lives of others.

While the modern world is rapidly making us into 'global citizens', at the same time we experience increasing isolation as individuals in our own society. There is a pressing need for us to develop new forms of relationship with family and society.

Through working consciously and actively on our own life-story, we can build bridges to other people in a way that develops a new understanding for the lives of others.

The ideas and methods presented in this book are the result of many year's therapeutic work with groups and individuals. The life-stories described are the authentic stories of participants in the courses and workshops.
