Experiencing Endings and Beginnings

Author(s) : Isca Salzberger-Wittenberg

Reviews and Endorsements

‘Isca Wittenberg has become very well known for her original approach to thinking about beginnings and endings in life and as they appear and challenge us in clinical and teaching contexts. This book is the fruit of her long engagement with this topic, and it is a most engaging overview of the major transitions in the human life cycle. It is written with freshness and simplicity and offers the reader an encounter with a writer who draws on her personal and professional experience with freedom and zest. A book about everyday life by a far-from-everyday person, which I think will stimulate and charm many, because it imparts wisdom so lightly.’ Margaret Rustin, Child and Adult Psychotherapist.

‘[This is a] gem of a book. In her late 80's Isca Wittenberg writes as clearly as ever, distilling a lifetime's experience into a work of genuine wisdom. This book displays a deep psychoanalytic understanding of the lifecourse married with a searching and compassionate mind, and has the added bonus of fascinating autobiographical fragments from one of the luminaries of child psychotherapy.’- Graham Music, Consultant Child Psychotherapist, Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.
