The Art of the Gentle Healer

Peter Wright

"It's not easy to reveal the achievments of a woman whose job is rooted in confidentiality, therefore observations and deductions made by the author are solely his. Living with an adept psychotherapist is, in itself, an awakening experience. The nuances, the subtelties of silent exchange, will soon sharpen the layman's awarenes."

This, the first republication in almost ninety years brings a very special little book back into the public domain. In rescuing it from obscurity, the editing team comprising Peter Wright, Jane Frere, Kenneth Wright and with valuable support from Neville Rigby have sought to do justice to the remarkable original, written as it was, by an intrepid boy of just sixteen years. We commend it to those who would wish to know more about the rock climbing opportunities in the Inverness area - especially as described so eloquently from the experiences of youth. But it also gives a moving insight into what six boys could together achieve, as they grew from the ages of thirteen to sixteen. It has been worth putting the original book into context, and from this to show not only what a special group of boys these were all those years ago, but to give credit where it is undoubtedly due. Yes, there is sorrow in it, due to the tragedy of the War that ensued, but what shines through is a remarkable story nonetheless. Jane, the daughter of the the author, rounds off the republished book to perfection, in a moving account of how her father`s passion for the Scottish mountains and landscapes, shaped her own life, talents and interests.
