In this book, Dr Gail Feldman's powerful message is that it is possible to transform the energy focused on major life crises into creative self-expression and trancendant living. In this truly inspiring book she casts a tragedy in a whole new light by presenting grief as a potential catalyst for greater creativity.
Using portraits of a wide range of historical figures as examples (including Einstein, Frida Kahlo, Biblical Job, Van Gogh, Gandi and Michelangelo) plus clinical case studies, she successfully illustrates how pain and depression can be transformed into powerful self-expression.
Her pioneering work in this field provides a map for finding possibility and creativity among the ruins of personal loss and life change. This is no less than alchemy of the spirit.
