Many of you know me as a psychologist, others as publisher, still others as poet & memoirist—all roles that I love. Particularly satisfying is having the opportunity to write about psychology for the general public rather than only the scientific community.
I’m pleased to announce publication on the Psychology Today website of a series I’m writing entitled “Roadblocks to Intimacy and Trust”.
“Roadblocks… I: The Ambivalent Mother”
“Roadblocks….II: Psychological Defenses: Often Our Salvation”
The third, upcoming next week is “Roadblocks…III: The Passive Father” *
I’d be honored if you’re inclined to view them, perhaps even comment.
In any case, I wish you all good things & hope your summer is joyful.
-Joan
* Additional pieces will appear weekly
What a thought-provoking, insightful article! Your ability to look back at your childhood with the wisdom of adulthood, and convey it to others in easily understandable terms is wonderful. Your fearless assessment of your youthful and adult emotions, and their impact on your life is commendable in a world where few even search for the reasons why they cling to unnecessary, and unwarranted pain. Thank you for sharing this well-written article.
