Where live our most cherished (or painful) memories? Where do our
beloved (or dreaded) exist when departed? In the gray zone between
our self and our world, they can exist as internal reminiscences
for some and striking images for others; individually or
collectively perceived and interacted; vividly or as tenuous
presences. This book familiarizes us with six examples of
individuals and families in therapy who live and interact with the
presence of their absent, pivotal people in their lives who either
died or disappeared, but are still there. It familiarizes us with
their plight in a tender, compassionate style, describing in detail
interviews and therapeutic transformations and, in several cases,
follow-ups as well as echoes of those processes. It teaches us to
respect those presences as well as how to help families and
individuals treasure them...and in many cases to let them go.
Written in a vivid, intense language, The Presence of the Absent
offers a marvelous insight into these processes that may prove
transformative for the therapist (both family and
individually-oriented), as well as enlightening to the general
public.
