| book description |
This posthumous memoir by Andrew Cooper is the first book in the Tavistock Lives series. It traces connections between early experience and later physical and mental pain, and between personal fears about death and dying and the wider societal forces that shape our responses to them. It is also a rich exploration of the life-enhancing potential of psychoanalytic psychotherapy – which Andrew credits with saving his life. Psychotherapy takes its place alongside physical medicine, which enabled Andrew to overcome two episodes of cancer in his youth followed by further serious illnesses leading to hospitalisation and life-long medication. The book is at once a story of a life and an intelligent enquiry into lived experience. Andrew confronts the existential questions that haunt us all, reflecting on past encounters, revisiting long-held beliefs, and exploring the revelations of dreams. Andrew inspired many throughout his professional life, and his final book does so again – this time on a more personal level. Bluebird sings a song of hope as it looks back on a long, good life. It is the ideal companion for those drawn to life stories and those seeking answers to life’s biggest questions.
