Theories of human development characteristically include a series
of stages through which individuals are expected to pass if they
are to achieve wholeness and happiness. Whether explicitly or not,
such theories privilege "normalcy." Heroes, on the other hand, are
commonly wounded individuals whose developmental "disabilities" are
ultimately the source of their personal success and heroism. The
Wounds that Heal examines developmental theory in the light of the
heroic narrative and argues that such theory should be adjusted to
accommodate the experience of those who are, in many ways, our
principal role models. Four individuals are examined in depth: Jane
Austen, T. E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill, and George S. Patton,
Jr. The study draws on the experience of a host of other
individuals, both historic and fictional, and includes materials
designed to aid readers in defining their own views of the heroic
as well as to become heroes or heroines in their own lives.
