Freud was addicted to cocaine and nicotine, Jung was psychotic for several years, and Margaret Mead remained closeted throughout her lifetime. Yet, adversities notwithstanding, they all made monumental contributions that still shape our view on ourselves and the world. This book includes biographies of fifteen modern explorers of the mind who altered the course of history. All of them were wounded healers who made great discoveries while struggling with traumatic life crises and emotional problems in their personal lives. Full of unexpected twists and turns, their life stories alone are worthy of our attention. In linking their maladies with their creativity, showing the vulnerable and human side of these giants, this book makes the greats approachable and illuminates their scientific findings through narrating their life stories.

'This book is a tour de force. With the skills of an esteemed neuroscientist and clinician, Keh-Ming Lin presents a scholarly examination of fifteen extraordinary, but wounded, psychotherapists. He suggests that a wounded healer exists within all of us and, if properly contained, might contain the seeds for a talented psychotherapist.' Warren R. Procci, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA School of Medicine, USA, and the 64th President of the American Psychoanalytic Association
