For years Sylvia struggled with writers’ block, worried that her own story paled in the shadow of her parents’ enormous losses. However, after a powerful ceremony in Jerusalem that honored her mother for her courage in hiding her father in Rome during the Nazi occupation, Sylvia began to write—and she finally found her voice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Reluctant Psychoanalyst\u003c\/i\u003e, Sylvia describes how trauma can pass into the next generation. A devoted daughter, for decades she did not feel free to deviate from her father’s agenda for her. Failing to recognize his narcissism and toxic boundary-crossing for what it was, she complied with his demand that she join him in his mission to “save the world from another genocide” by spreading his version of the gospel of Freud. With this memoir, Sylvia fulfills her duty to memorialize her parents’ lives—and claims the right to tell her own story.","brand":"She Writes Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48684189548773,"sku":"NP9798896363729","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-reluctant-psychoanalyst-isbn-9798896363729","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
