Reviews
'Stein's novel explores insightful points of encounter between Jewish religiosity and psychoanalysis in a thoughtful, elegant and lively prose. Many early practitioners of psychoanalysis, most notably Freud, were Jews who maintained an ambivalent connection with the spiritual traditions of their ancestry. The author portrays a dialogue between Hasidim and the sciences of the mind , and his creative approach to the subject will remain a timely and important contribution to this most fascinating of topics. A must-read for anyone interested in that which makes spirituality, broadly defined, and the principles and practices of psychoanalysis a foundation for human happiness and growth.'-- Dr Hune Margulies, poet and philosopher, and founder and director of the Martin Buber Institute for Dialogical Ecology
