Reviews and Endorsements

‘In a book that wells up from the depths of personal loss as well as the ocean of transpersonal experience, Marcia D-S. Dobson forges an intimate bond with the reader through her vatic voice. As both a professor of classics and a healer of souls, she carries her caduceus across the threshold between not only the conscious and unconscious but also the archaic and analytic.’ - Peter L. Rudnytsky, University of Florida and the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute, author of Mutual Analysis: Ferenczi, Severn, and the Origins of Trauma Theory

‘This uplifting volume aims to restore the transformative realms of sacred liminality by summoning the feminine-maternal element as a sublime source of healing and the evolving of the human spirit. It will bring its grateful readers a joyful faith in creative subjectivity and an ethical humanity.’ - Raanan Kulka, head, Human Spirit – Psychoanalytic-Buddhist Training Program, Israel, and author of Kohut 2019 Memorial Lecture, Selfobject psychology for a Troubled World
