My Kleinian Home
"This is the autobiography of a woman who has had Jungian, Freudian and Kleinian analyses. Nini Herman's life has been an odyssey - full of familial, historical and personal distress, including the vicissitudes of being a German Jew in the 1930s, the death of a child and a constant search for resolution of deep issues from her own childhood." "She takes the reader through her experiences of analysis in relation to her problems and her reflections as a daughter, woman, parent, doctor and psychotherapist." "This book may be read on many levels. Not only does it tell the story of Nini Herman's extraordinary life, but it also encompasses, with unusual clarity, the assumptions and the experience of Kleinian psychoanalysis."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Too Long a Child
From Persephone to Sylvia Plath the mother-daughter relationship has been central to every woman's life. Using her wide experience as a psychotherapist, Nini Herman traces the struggle of mothers and daughters to free themselves from each other - to recognise each other as separate. Where they succeed, their relationship can be a source of enduring strength; when they fail, it can lead to frustration, madness and even suicide.

Why Psychotherapy?
If you want to know what psychotherapy is, start here. For many people in psychological distress, the route is all too clear - a visit to the general practitioner, anti-depressants and, in severe cases, hospitalization, the distinction between that path and the experience of psychotherapy - especially psychoanalysis - is rarely clear. Nini Herman makes an eloquent plea for a different approach. She takes the reader carefully through the meaning the main figures, the issues and above all, the process of psychotherapy. This is the first book which carefully describes that process in truly accessible terms.

The Journals
These journals provide great insight into the mind and art of one of the great 20th century artists. Though born in Poland, he is best known for his paintings of Welsh miners, for it was workers that inspired him, and he painted them with great simplicity, almost as monuments to work, and often with the sun and sky behind them so that they looked like latter-day saints. The journals reveal his artistic heritage, who inspired him, what he saw in painters, what he thought of their technique. This is a fascinating book for anyone interested in art. "
Whose People?
Wales has a centuries-long history of interest in Palestine and Israel, and a particularly close interest in Jews and Zionism, which has been expressed widely in the literature. Whose People? Wales, Israel, Palestine is the first monograph to explore this subject. It asks difficult and probing questions about the relationship that Wales has had with Palestine in the past, and now has with the Israel-Palestine situation in the present, and it challenges received wisdom about Welsh tolerance and liberalism. Using publications in Welsh and in English across several centuries, this survey examines Welsh missionary efforts and colonial desires in Palestine; complex and contradictory attitudes to ...
