Recenzii

"Breaking Free challenges conventional wisdom. In this world of growing uncertainty, argues Dr. Kardener, only by abandoning childhood perceptions of safety will we find fulfillment in our adult life. Easily accessible and distilled from 40 years of the authorΣs experience as a front-line therapist and teacher, this book will be of value to laymen and professionals alike."

Peter C. Whybrow, M.D. ª Director, Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA. Author, A Mood Apart: The ThinkerΣs Guide to Emotion and Its Disorder.

"This illuminating and original book...synthesizes a wide range of developmental, psychological, interpersonal, and biological views on how we start out in life, how we evolve into sometime struggling adults, and how we transcend and transform into healthier selves. Dr. KardenerΣs perspective, honed over decades of psychotherapy practice and teaching...offers pathways to attaining a better life through resolving old conflicts.
Joel Yager, M.D.  Professor of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of Colorado

"In clear, non-technical language Dr. Kardener draws on his considerable psychiatric teaching and practice experience to illustrate not only how - but especially why -  experiences as a child can seriously impact and impair later functioning and how as an adult desired goals may be restored and achieved."
Harold Gould,  Five time Emmy award winning stage, screen, and television actor.
