Item description from seller

First Edition. 21cm x 14.5cm. (8) 179 (4) pages. Fine copy in publisher's half cloth-covered boards and in near fine dust jacket. In protective Mylar. Very good + condition with only minor signs of wear. Inscribed by Robert Coles on front free endpaper to Francine (du Plessix Gray) in September 1971: "For Francine.Bob". These conversations, and the events surrounding them in the summer of 1970, describe a geography of faith whose landscape included open defiance of the government, a varied response from the psychiatric community, recourse to prayer and solitude, and, finally, nationwide attention that has heightened the meaning of nonviolent resistance in America. Underground from April to August, Father Daniel Berrigan refused to report to Federal authorities to begin imprisonment for his antiwar action at Catonsville, Maryland. Meanwhile, Daniel's brother Philip had been arrested and imprisoned in Lewisburg. In July he began a fast to protest prison harassment and the news provoked a reaction in many people, notable Dr. Robert Coles. Operating on both fronts, Coles visited Philip Berrigan in prison, then later met with Daniel Berrigan, still underground, to open a discussion on a variety of shared concerns. What is health anyway? What is the future of the nuclear family? How can the movement be 'a school of alternatives"? What are the responsibilities of the professionals? In general, how do a Jesuit priest and a child psychiatrist, in similar or dissimilar ways, deal with the demands placed upon human development in a time of war and national protest? This book, an edited transcript of the Berrigan-Coles conversations, deals with these and other questions. It also includes a remarkable, long introduction by Coles on the meaning of his own work and the example which Daniel Berrigan has tried to set. Dr. Robert Coles is a child psychiatrist presently associated with the Harvard University Health Services. Active in social issues, he is the author of a well-known study of the American poor, entitled 'Children of Crisis'.
