Humanistic psychology

"Operated on as an infant, without anesthesia, Wendy P. Williams began life at war with her body. ""There were tubes everywhere, in and out of every opening,"" her mother reminded her on every anniversary of her surgery. Autobiography of a Sea Creature takes readers on Williams' difficult sensory journey toward healing, as she communes along the way with horseshoe crabs, dolphins, and other marine life that taught her the restorative power of beauty, resilience, and interdependence. At times luscious and lyrical, at other times analytical and reflective, this literary memoir portrays the dissociative experience of trauma and the roots of self-destructive cycles, as well as the tragic results of medical beliefs at the time that infants could not feel pain. Autobiography of a Sea Creature is both a love letter to the earth and a hopeful testament of humans' capacity to heal our deepest wounds."
