Summary

THIS EDITION INCLUDES A MOVING NEW CHAPTER

'A wise, deep, nuanced and profoundly moving book' Siri Hustvedt
'Thoughtful, important and a reminder that hope belongs to everyone' Christie Watson
'Extraordinarily powerful . . . it's indelibly stamped on my mind' Rachel Clarke

The Sunday Times bestselling authors of The Devil You Know return with a life-affirming book, taking us into the consulting room with Dr Gwen Adshead to witness her work with patients and discover how we heal after trauma.

Drawing on her thirty-year career in the NHS, the pioneering psychotherapist Dr Gwen Adshead invites us to witness her work with patients grappling with profound changes to their lives and identities after enduring a range of distressing events - from a refugee who worries about her son's development, to a man uncovering weighty secrets in the midst of bereavement, to the survivors of a helicopter crash struggling in its aftermath. In nine unforgettable stories we see lives, hearts and minds transformed as her courageous patients step out of the darkness of shame and fear to discover new possibilities. Where There Is Life brims with hope.
