The well-known Swiss psychotherapist adds another to the list of ??
volumes appearing under his name. This is somewhat ?? but less ??.
The author divides his chapter ?? The Adventure (of living); The
Risk; and The Choice. ?? the subject matter deals with problems
encountered by individuals in their living, and is supported by a
generous amount of case report and anecdote. The meaning of work,
commitment, success and failure, marriage, the meaning of life, are
among the topics discussed. The book should attract the rather
large following of persons who have been helped by, or have been
interested in, Dr. Tournier's previous books. The more eritical
reader may feel that more discrimination as to what is, and is not,
included, would increase the impact of the writing. Perhaps the
frequency with which the author's books appear has something to do
with the lack of compression. (Kirkus Reviews)
Paul Tournier, who now lives actively in retirement, was a general
practitioner in Geneva for nearly fifty years. Although he never
had a specialist training in psychiatry and disclaims the title of
psychiatrist, his own experiences, and his discovery that many of
his patients needed help going deeper than drugs or surgery, led
him to develop and practise what he calls 'the medicine of the
person', in which medical knowledge, understanding and religion are
combined. His books include A Doctor's Casebook in the Light of the
Bible, Escape from Loneliness, Learning to Grow Old, Marriage
Difficulties, The Meaning of Persons, The Person Reborn, A Place
for You, The Strong and the Weak and What's in a Name? A Tournier
Companion is being published in 1976. Of The Adventure of Living
the Church Times wrote: 'This author's own immense zest for living
infects his writing, while his religious sincerity makes very
moving his appeal for a closer walk with God as the only thing
which can finally unlock the door to happiness. This is a book to
be warmly commended to the thoughtful reader and one which,
incidentally, should do much to encourage those who are often
depressed by the apparent incompatibility between Christian faith
and modern science.'
