An honest and fascinating account of the author's struggle to get free of the power games in relation to her mother, her marriage, her lover and the psychoanalytic organisation that should have been able to help her find herself. - Professor Michael Jacobs, PhD, author of The Presenting Past What an astonishing work, I couldn't stop reading, it is fascinating from start to finish. - Graham Lennox, FRCP, consultant neurologist This is a fascinating book. Honest, brave, insightful. Virginia Routh Lynch is passionate about Carl Jung and introduces some of his concepts elegantly and insightfully, making it a wonderful introduction to anyone interested in exploring dreams and venturing on a journey of self-discovery. - Lucinda Montefiore, Radio Producer The Cloak is a very honest and readable memoir. There are the challenges, struggles and joys of successive relationships, their beginnings and endings, and a constant quest for meaning in and through those relationships. The accounts from lived experience as an analysand in Jungian analysis, and as a psychotherapist, were a revelation to me. I have never quite understood before what individuation means - now I know. - Michael Wright, Emeritus Professor, Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, Brunel University, Uxbridge
