Boundaries: A New Way to Look at the World

by Ernest Hartmann

Twenty years ago, noted psychiatrist and dream researcher, Ernest Hartmann, developed the concept of 'boundaries' as a dimension of personality. With his new book, A New Way to Look at the World , Hartmann extends the boundaries concept beyond the individual and into the world at large.
Hartmann addresses each topic in accessible language, one chapter at a time, in a book that broadens our understanding of the outside world while deepening our understanding of ourselves. 213 pages. Index, references.

[Amy Katherine Wolff · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting read. Not at all what I expected. A bit repetitious, and again, not what I was expecting, as far as helping one determine their own boundaries and how to benefit from or change them as needed. It was much more of a scientific paper review, citing data and correlations between various psychological tests and a boundary questionnaire utilized by the author. It did, however, provide some broader generalizations in regards to boundaries and the types of careers that people may choose based on the "thickness" or "thinness" of their personal boundaries. Interesting.
