Alida Gersie is a London-based dramatherapist and organizational consultant. Her work with deprived individuals and communities inspired her to develop a story-based method that facilitates productive change in seemingly hopeless situations. For several decades she was Principal Lecturer in the Postgraduate Arts Therapies Department of the University of Hertfordshire. She has taught the story-based approach to planned change in many countries, and has authored and edited several books.
''Wind, the earth is sick with silence''; ''on not daring to hope''; ''the pain of neglect in the land of plenty''; ''that was the story of my life''; ''the pursuit of the little devils''; ''the last straw that healed the camel's back''.
...will enrich the practice of anyone engaged in therapeutic work, in both group and individual settings... The format and layout of this book are exemplary... a book full of wisdom and compassion, of ways in which anyone may find new and different methods of contacting a troubled soul... it is hard to do justice to this book in a review; it is so clear, so ""unaffected"" and yet so humane... that it must open up new possibilities for all of us, and is a valuable resource for any therapist.
