The Library is soon to be relocated within the DWC building and we feel certain that this will further promote the friendly relaxed atmosphere achieved over the past three years.
To accompany this expansion our sister pages online will also be growing to include books and reviews available in our library. Here's a taster!
Understanding Depression
A well written and more importantly , an easily read book. The author actually appears to understand exactly what you are feeling. This book will be of great help to people who have suffered depression, or for those who feel thery are on the brink of an emotional breakdown.
Out on a Limb by Shirley Maclaine
Written by the famous actress, who is prepared to travel half way around the world in hewr search for inner peace anf fulfilment. Slow to start, but a true, authentic story of her struggle to reconcile her love and her doubts. The people and places she visits on her journey (both physical and spiritual) makes very interesting reading.
The Catch of Hands by Benedicta Leigh
A secure, loving, upper middle class childhood does not save the author from anguish and mental breakdown in middle age. She tells her story in a detached, ironic way, and it is all the more forceful for that. Her experiences of sorrpw are hinted at rather than analysed- the death of her father, the death of her lover, a diificult marriage- all are made even more unbearable by her appaling treatment at the hands of psychiatry. We feel that her inner conflicts are far from resolved, and that writing this book has been a major part of her healing process. Sobering, but at the same time full of hope, this author indicates that the human spirit can survive and begin to heal itself, against all odds. That's all for now folks!
