Status Updates From By Jerome S. Bernstein - Li...

Simultaneously interesting and completely bonkers. Why the insistence that borderland minds are in touch with nature? And why the assumption this is part of human evolution?

"I once took my 4-year-old son to a puppet show put on by the brilliant and magical Jim Henson. When we emerged from the theatre into the lobby, I was astonished to see none other than Jim Henson displaying how the puppets and the mechanics of the set 'worked' to this crowd of children, many of whom were 7 or under. We did not stay for the demonstration." (The author is upset about kids losing their sense of awe.)

"It takes a great deal of sensitivity on the part of the therapist to be able to identify and discern psychic material when the client doesn't realize that they have picked up personal or sensitive material about the therapist."

Uh... What?

To put it mildly, this book is on the fringes. What is a therapist to do when a patient shows up with "dreams" that are details of their therapist's life that they have learned using psychic powers? Uh... What?

Some dense Jungian thinking stuff. Read an essay by the author in "Marked by Fire" and enjoyed it enough to seek out his book.

Currently reading and LOVING this book that the director of my MA program recommended.
