A very troubled and psychologically traumatized young woman is helped by an unorthodox psychoanalyst. The therapist is so unconventional that she scares herself. However, despite the therapist's audacious spirit, the efficacy of psychotherapy through this extraordinary relationship is demonstrated time and again. It becomes apparent that only such loving authenticity, independent and unusual though it may be on the part of the analyst, can truly motivate the analysand towards real and effective change.
The reader is thrown right into the middle of their therapeutic encounter and is privy to the exchanges between these two protagonists.
