Broken relationships are everywhere. If you're not in one, you certainly know someone who is. Most people don't know where their relationship problems started, let alone how to fix them. It's Not Too Late provides biblical answers, but it does so through story'the story of a marriage that dies and is later restored. Sara and Nick seemed like the perfect couple: college sweethearts, a beautiful wedding, good jobs, and twins'a boy and a girl. An unplanned pregnancy and then a miscarriage of their child tests their idyllic marriage. Compounding this, Nick's job necessitates uprooting and moving from one city to another more times than Sara and the twins can count. Resentment builds within the family, and Sara and Nick head for divorce. Sara embarks on a journey to find help for her and her family and discovers buried emotions tied to never-divulged events. She brings her nightmare out of the shadows, and we beg to understand how she can rise above it. Can God really help her and her family let go of the past and forgive? Readers will see themselves in this story and will be transformed by walking with the characters through their process of spiritual change. This book shows the reader how to change, not through dry instruction, but through vivid stories of characters whose lives are healed by God.

Old age is a stage of human development which has largely been neglected in the field of psychotherapy. Not Too Late is a lively challenge to the view that for the old, only short-term therapy or counselling is suitable. Drawing upon her own experience of ageing and her work with older patients, Ann Orbach demonstrates that people can benefit from long-term psychotherapy at any age, provided they have the motivation and the right attitude. She explores the older person's sense of selfhood, in contrast to stereotypes and prejudices, and considers key issues which older people face such as ageism, bereavement, physical change, sexuality, regression and fear of death. She also questions why therapists tend to avoid working with older age groups and how therapists can help both their patients and themselves face the usual fears and issues of old age. Not Too Late shows that psychotherapy is not just for the young. Orbach's insights will be of great value to anyone who works with older people including psychotherapists, counsellors and social workers.

The papers of Edna O’Shaughnessy are among the finest to be found in psychoanalytic writing. Her work is unified not so much by its subject matter, which is diverse, but by her underlying preoccupations, including the nature of psychic reality and subjectivity, and the psychic limits of endurance and reparation. Here a selection of her work, edited and with an introduction by Richard Rusbridger, is brought together in a collection which demonstrates the contribution that O’Shaughnessy has made to many areas of psychoanalysis, from personality organisations, the superego, psychic refuges and the Oedipus complex to the subject of whether a liar can be psychoanalysed. Inquiries in Psychoanalysis is a record of clinical work and thinking over sixty years of psychoanalytic practice with children and adults. This wide-ranging selection of work will be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and students.
