"This is a beautiful book, full of wisdom, clarity, and stunningly subtle clinical work. It is also, in its quiet way, very inspiring." - Anne Alvarez, PhD MACP Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist"In this aptly named book we encounter a truly independent thinker, able to range freely across the attachment and psychotherapy worlds. At the same time we find a therapeutic mind at its best: curious and self-examining; 'slightly quizzical'; penetrating and intelligent, yet alive to the gamut of feelings from love and concern through to horror and hatred. Hopkins' ability to bring clinical material to life while remaining true to theory is virtuosic. Like her child and adolescent patients, the reader comes away calmed, sensitively challenged, and with hope restored." - Professor Jeremy Holmes MD FRCPsych University of Exeter, UK
