Being a psychologist did enable me to maintain objectivity.

So many people suffer from abuse, and suffer alone.

There is a probably natural and learned reticence with myself talking about my early life.

There was a special challenge in describing the awful childhood of a person who happens to be my own husband. It was very painful at times, for both of us.

After all my probing into the human brain, I should still be aware of mysteries and come up with them myself.

The work of a psychotherapist involves being empathic and insightful with one's patients without getting too lost in their painful stories to be helpful.

Most people who went about saying a ghost had poked them with a brolly would be locked up somewhere.
