Inspired by Buddhist teachings and psychoanalytic thought, this
book explores gentleness as a way of being and a developmental
achievement. It offers reflections on the unique position of
"gentle people", as well as certain gentle layers of the psyche in
general, as they meet the world. Examining the
perceptual-sensory-conscious discrepancy that often exists between
a gentle person and their surroundings, it follows the intricate
relationship between sensitivity and fear, the need for
self-holding, and the possibility of letting go. Incorporating
theoretical investigation, clinical vignettes, and personal
contemplation, the book looks into those states of mind and
qualities of attention that may compose a favorable environment,
internal and interpersonal, where gentleness can be delicately
held. There, it is suggested, gentleness may gradually shed the
fragility, confusion, and destructiveness that often get entangled
with it, and serve as a valuable recourse. Offering a unique
perspective on a topic rarely discussed, the book has broad appeal
for both students and practitioners of psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy, as well as Buddhist practitioners and scholars.
