Mee Hee Douglas On Being Human

On Being Humanis an insightful collage of human experience and psychodynamics. Here, Mee Hee Douglas explores the topics of narcissism, independence, parenting, relationships, grief, and the forces of everyday capitalism on our minds. She draws upon her 20 years of psychotherapy practice to dispel narrow, populist ideas of mental health spawned from modern capitalism-she provides distilled but wide ranging antidotes to labels and panaceas.On Being Humanurges us to re-humanise mental health as our ability to stay with the context and realities of our lives; to remain true to ourselves; to be faithful to our lives in the presence of forces that constantly tell us that there is something inadequate or wrong with us.
