On Becoming Human: A Memoir

ByLynne Stewart

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Lynne Stewart’s book chronicles her path to realizing her humanity. Her instincts to love and be loved were thwarted as she grew up. Her trust in the goodness of life was betrayed. Hidden behind thick walls of misery and loneliness at age 28, tender, caring words were spoken to her. Her life changed. He became her psychotherapist. She survives the intense psychoanalytic psychotherapy and allows the reader to experience her epiphany as she emerges ready to live life fully present. Her ability to identify with others labeled “mentally ill” informs the next phase of her life. She becomes an advocate and organizer. The book is a must read for anyone struggling through the labyrinthine mystery of how to get emotional or psychological help in America today. She is offering a message of hope to those experiencing hopeless feelings by showing others who suffer, another way out of pain. Twenty of her original drawings and paintings illustrate the facets of her journey.
