Jung & Reich: The Body as Shadow is an exploration of the lives and significant ideas of two principal figures of psychoanalysis, Carl Jung and Wilhelm Reich, who never met even though they were contemporaries. Author John Conger's unique treatment of their personalities and points of view - as well as what they might have learned from one another - is at once a brush with the hypothetical, a blended biography of similarities and differences, and a conscientious assessment of the two men's theories. Jung and Reich, both controversial luminaries and pioneers, found themselves situated to forge new ground as their careers merged with the modern fascination with psychology in the 1920s and '30s. Conger's deep examination of the two men's backgrounds, characters, and styles offers by comparison a richer study than individual biographies.

"I never had so much to write about. But until I learned to breathe deeply, I wasn't able to feel - mostly just to think."
Opening Up - The Search for Intimate Love has been just that, what the title states. This book explores the relationships between lovers, their parents and what is passed on. Opening Up, was almost titled Self Exposure. I knew that I would be exposed, embarrassed, rejected, and maybe accepted.
