Reviews

Licensed psychologists, the Grudermeyers married in 1986, combined their last names, and founded Willingness Works in 1988 in Del Mar, California, to offer workshops on the "seven stages of personal healing." Their book reads like a What Color Is Your Parachute? for the emotional life. This is not a read-what-you-like, feel-good book but a working journey toward healing. Sign your personal contract and begin your "weekly healing plan" and "long-term healing plan." Complete both?20 pages of substantive exercises in each chapter?they may save you some time unearthing problems. The first two sections show how one is wounded in childhood and how such wounds affect adult lives. ("We live our lives out at the level of our wounds, not our wishes.") Sections 3 and 4 explain the seven stages in detail. Besides the index there is a glossary and brief bibliographies and healing activities. Among the plethora of self-help books, this one stands out. Recommended for public libraries and counseling collections.?Susan Burdick, MLS, Reading, Pa.
