Description

Paul Valent, a retired medical doctor, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and traumatologist, describes the struggles and discoveries in his varied four-decade career. Each chapter offers a glimpse into the psychotherapeutic encounter, from the author's fieldwork with survivors of the Ash Wednesday bushfires to the private challenges of unearthing childhood trauma in a sex offender.

Through the fascinating stories of his work with patients and the examination of his own life story as a Holocaust survivor, Valent articulates and grapples with ubiquitous human issues such as morality, trauma, illness, and death.

In Two Minds provides a profound reflection on the human condition, seen through the lens of a life dedicated to understanding and healing psychological wounds.
