Description:
This book is a study of vulnerability in the psychotherapeutic process: its nature, its importance, and the transforming experiences that Dr. Livingston calls "vulnerable moments". People who relinquish their usual characterological defenses open themselves to wounds of many sorts, from peripheral encounters with shame and rejection to direct personal attacks and potentially devastating losses. Any of these can call forth memories of early traumas, and, in turn, fears of the dissolution of the existing sense of self and its attachments that these recollections evoke. Hence, protective shields become deeply embedded in character. Those rare occasions when rigid barriers are softened and people open themselves to new experience are the "vulnerable moments" discussed here.
