..".I am flooded with warmth for this little expert on the art of
living, who has just realised that even he has the possibility to
live a long life. My interpretation is that he trusts he will get
the time he needs in therapy to reach, first adulthood, and, then,
old age. Right now he believes he will continue to be in therapy
for the rest of his life. He cannot imagine that it is going to
come to an end. However, I have started to think about when we will
have to part and I am not looking forward to it...""From Chaos to
Coherence" is the true story, told in everyday language, of the
adopted boy Douglas and his journey towards adulthood with the help
of psychotherapy. Douglas has severe psychic, physical and social
handicaps and is also diagnosed with ADHD. He is impulse-governed,
aggressive, provocative and unable to interact with other children.
He begins psychotherapy at the age of seven and continues weekly
sessions for the next seven years.The reader is invited into the
child psychotherapy room to follow the work of Douglas and his
therapist, author Elisabeth Cleve. The therapy can be described as
physically intense work that evokes strong emotions in both Douglas
and the therapist. We get to learn about their inner feelings,
thoughts and actions during the different phases of the
treatment.The story of Douglas captivates the reader and provides
an understanding of what is going on inside a troubled little boy.
This beautifully written account of successful psychotherapy is
painfully honest at times and manages to bring the therapy sessions
to life for the reader. "From Chaos to Coherence" is an important
book and vital reading not only for all involved in children s
psychotherapy, but for all of us in search of a humane, informative
and touching book."
