A Shining Affliction: A Story of Harm and Healing in Psychotherapy

In this brave, iconoclastic, and utterly unique book, a Harvard professor of human development and psychology chronicles her personal drama as a young psychology intern assigned to treat a severely disturbed five-year-old boy. Powerful and poignant, A Shining Affliction is not only beautifully written story of a soul, but an important challenge to psychotherapy as it is practiced today.
