HOW COULD THESE LOVELY PEOPLE HAVE LET IT HAPPEN? A PSYCHOLOGIST’S INTIMATE JOURNAL is the working title of my manuscript about to turn slowly into a book published by Beaver’s Pond Press. 250 pages (depending on the font) of some 65,000+ words, it carries stories, vignettes, opinions, and emotions of 72 years of psychological process and change as filtered through me. It’ll be a romp through chats as if sitting together at my kitchen table, picking up on some history of my times, and discovering some useful behavioral hints. The ending has surprised even me as I discovered some answers to the question in the title.
