My Biggest Puzzle is Myself: Understanding the Secrets of the Psyche

Using true-to-life stories, the authors show how psychoanalysis brings unconscious conflicts to light

Understanding drives change – and what we don’t understand, we repeat again and again. What does it mean, though, to understand? Psychologists Cécile Lötz and Jakob Müller offer in-depth insights into the thoughts and feelings of those who turn to therapy in times of crisis. They bring to light the unconscious dynamics at play when we experience pain, fear, trauma and aggression. Unsparingly yet empathetically, they describe the often elusive process of psychotherapy, which helps people to understand their past better. A clever, nuanced and immensely stimulating book that arouses curiosity and encourages the reader to take a look at their own life.
