"In Elements of Reparation, Brent Potter covers a huge psychological landscape, from Greek mythology, Freud and Jung, to Heidegger and Bion. He skillfully leads readers through the labyrinth of complex theoretical concepts and ambiguous psychological terms, to shed light on the ageless themes of truth, faith, and transformation. More importantly, he convincingly shows us that these existential phenomenological processes can heal a psyche traumatized by both the inherent condition of life and the contemporary technological culture. For all those who are struggling with suffering and trauma and disappointed in current mental health care, this book offers a very hopeful alternative of healing through openness to and acceptance of life in all its mystery. I highly recommend this book to all mental health professionals."
