The true story of a psychologist who takes off his professional hat and returns to his '60s childhood. His quest is to solve the mystery of what happened to his father and his family. Guided by diaries, letters, photographs, visits and family recollections, he finds out what made him a psychologist in the first place. Reliving sweet and bitter emotions, he struggles to understand what actually occurred, until he assembles the fuller story using tools he learned as a developmental psychologist. His father engulfed by the "Human Potential Movement" broke up their happy family, for reasons many of us will still recognise today. We are caused to reflect on who we are, what we want with each other, the freedom we sometimes mistakenly crave and what we owe the next generation. Using the techniques of a fiction writer, historian, detective, coach and psychologist, this is a book of interest to anyone seeking to understand their own history and family. It raises broader questions for psychologists, sociologists, policy advisors, leaders and anyone in a helping profession.
